It is not for me, I have been using cable now for years, they never bother
me over anything, so I stay with them. But my friends needed a internet
connection, she works for VZN and so I guess gets a good discount for
the connection, they told me they were getting the service and asked
if there were any issues, the computer is a machine I set up for them
with Ubuntu 9.10 on it. It has worked well for them up until now, they
had internet service where they were living, all they had to do was
plug the computer in. So we shall see. I plan to be on site when the VZN
guy is there.
As to the sales, I have a gate on the property so they can not get on
the property, I get a mail box full of junk mail from them. I have looked
at changing over to them but my service would jump cost wise about
$30/mo to get similar service to what I have with BH.
