[Hidden-tech] Comcast v. Verizon

[Jonathan Hohl]

Ron,

That sounds like a good deal; I shall have to ring Verizon and inquire to 
whether or not it's available in my area. When I lived in Northampton, I had 
Verizon DSL and it worked wonderfully and was disappointed to have to switch 
to Comcast cable when I moved to Sunderland.
