That is interesting. I also had verizon DSL. It kicked me around badly 
in  the daytime when the big companies were on and was only marginally 
better at night.
Speeds were only a little faster than a modem and frustration was the 
rule. Plus it didn't like OS9.
Now I have cablevision and optimum online and pay $35 per month for my 
connection instead of $50 outright. It's a deal.
The world is on my desktop and in my living room and any information 
can be had quickly.
DSL was not so good and I dropped it the MINUTE cable became available 
in my town.
The only caveat is to keep it secret from too many nieghbors.
Believe me there was a day when I had both. I tested. The tests did not 
lie. Cable rules.
  WAtch  TV too and it's cheaper. I need Nickelodeon anyway.
