Antonio, Now you're talking! Thanks for the tip. Just talked to Verizon and they're upgrading me today. And because I have the unlimited calling plan, they upgraded me free to a new "Vertical Pkg #1" which is $6.14/cheaper. Pays to keep in touch. The upcoming fiber service you mentioned sounds phenomenal! The tech woman said it will be 20 times faster than DSL and should be available next year to those with "fiber to the premise" capability. Thanks again for your .02.
