[Hidden-tech] Verizon DSL slow?

[Antonio Gomes]

>From my understandings, fiber optic internet thru verizon is already in 
place in some towns and cities in MA.  The pricing plan is as follows:

15/2 - $45 a month
15/5 - $55 a month
30/5 - $200 a month (mainly business) or was it 30/15 .... don;t remeber

All speeds are in megabits, yea that's right a 15 megabit down with a 5 
megabit up for just $55 bux, cable is gonna get stomped.  They're also 
working on something like direct-tv to bring digital tv to your house thru 
the phonelines so expect a lot of work and upgrades out of them for the next 
2 years.
as for the rest of MA expect slowdowns and even down time  due to the 
upgrades in the system.  I live in Ludlow and the fiber was laid down last 
year all around town just it hasn;t been connected or if it has it's not 
offered yet .
Most of the information I'm writting here i've been finding out for the last 
year from www.dslreports.com in the verizon forums in there for those of you 
that want to check out what i'm saying.
