People on dslr have already reported that that is what they got when
signing up for the extra 15.
It is really closer to 20 dollars after you get down with tax and the
federal usf recovery fee

No they wont. Verizon does not even support macintosh. Not the first
person there knows how to use a mac except what they read off a
script. They are stupid people who dont want to hear anything about
linux bsd or anything not windows.

As a long term verizon customer had dsl for almost 7 1/2 years now back
when it was being beta tested in sarasota by GTE. I can say the only
reason why I dont change service is
A. me being lazy
B. I hate comcast
C. I really hate comcast
D. Comcast and there invisable caps.
E. Higher upload 3mbps/768k up then what comcast is offering for there
base package.
Also remember the price is only valid for 1 year it might go up or down
after that.
