good price, shame they are such a bad company.

after several years i was finally able to get my mother off of AOL
and onto high speed.

against my recommendation she went to Verizon DSL instead of Brighthouse.

not she cant understand why many net applications don't work right
even after i show her that Verizon is filtering the traffic and
nothing she does can get though.

i cant even tightVNC into her machine to help her remotely, the port is blocked.
