That's a common problem with DSL providers that are also telephone
companies: they tend to conceal standards of "reasonability" so that
they can change them at any time without having to inform anyone.
Likewise, Verizon has a bad reputation for bilking their customers,
particularly as applies to package deals. If they offer you a deal
involving DSL and unlimited long distance for one low-low rate, expect
it to be a lot of smoke and mirrors. I know of at least four people (my
father being one of them) that bought that line, read all the fine
print, found that they really did seem to be offering the deal that they
appeared to be offering . . . and ended up getting charged something
like two hundred dollars in domestic long distance.

I'm not saying nobody should use Verizon, but you should definitely be
suspicious of anything that sounds too good to be true.
