Unless you use the usenet much (the "news groups") Verizon throttles

At work I share a T-1 connection with several hundreds of fellow
workers, it really sucks when someone downloads something big it can
take me over a minute to get the google splash page once and a while.
(it sucks more when the exchange server is unreachable)
