[G4] FIOS Vs. DSL

[Jim Davis]

Verizon just reduced their rates- but you have to call for the discount.
I have the package deal also- it was 49.99 for the phone service, and it went down to 39.99, but no longer includes Call-Intercept, which blocks unidentified sales and solicitation calls- so I wind up paying 43.95 for the new package.  The DSL went down too, but only if you opt for a new slower service- faster than dial-up by far, but slower than the traditional DSL- much cheaper, but I stuck with the speed.  FIOS not available in my area yet- I asked.
Jim.
