[Hidden-tech] Try Crocker (instead of Verizon)!

[Jim Ussailis]

I am puzzled...

DSL comes over the phone lines. Verizon owns almost all the phone lines 
in W. MA.

So, any other DSL service uses Verizon phone lines. I would also assume 
they also use the Verizon switching station, perhaps with their own server.

Then why can't Verizon service places the other guys can?
