[Hidden-tech] Verizon DSL slow?

I'm glad you brought this to our attention, but yes, mine has been
extremely slow too!  I thought it was just me and/or my equipment
considering that the DSL modem/linksys router are 4 years old.  It seems
as though it is the DNS lookups that are slowing down the process.  Once
a host resolves, the connection is normal speed.  Call up Verizon at
1800-870-9999.
Thanks,
David
