I was wondering if anyone has heard of anything indicating that Verizon is going
to upgrade their DSL customer to a higher tier of service. I see alot of other
telephone companies can, i also see bellsouth is up there. And im my area Comcast
cable it looking tempting. I like to stay with DSL but i think verizon needs not to forget
about their DSL customer and think all FIOS. Especially a customer like me who lives
in a apartment complex and wont see FIOS anytime soon. Cmon verizon where your upgrade
to DSL.

Yes i do have the 3/768 i was thinking higher than that since i see other telephone can why not verizon. This is my 1st time getting the 3/768. I'm sure im lucky since alot of people can only get the 1.5/384 but i think it time that verizon upgraded im sure it possible. If other telephone company can do it so can they. 3/768 has been available foe a while now too. i was surprised to get the 3/768 i though i was going to get the 1.5/384 which in that case i wouldn't have kept. |

you might see a 5/896 or a 7/896 like qwest. but i doubt it because you made a good point, they are focusing alot of FiOS and not at all on DSL

That would be nice a 5/896 or 7/896 but i think it due time for verizon to do that. Evenutally they'll realized that because there focus is on FIOS that their DSL customer are finding another provider like cable modem. I agree it looks like they forgot about DSL customer, that a shame. |

I bet that dsl customers are slightly paying for fios so fios can stay so low. cuz it seems like fios prices should be higher anyway since it requires professional installation.
Do other dsl ISPs really give those 5 and 7MB connections for $30 or less a month?
I think we should start a petition of people who want a faster connection by 6 months or we r gonna switch to another isp.

In a word: yes.
Qwest offers 1.5-7Mbps down and up to 896 upload for 39.99/month if bundled with local phone service. if you don't have their phone service, its 49.99/month but at least they get naked.

See Verizon should do the same and not forget about their DSL customers and it all about FIOS because a person like me who lives in apartment complex wont see fios anytime soon. If they don't do any upgrade I'm sure people who have another option will take it. I know i will.

It just depends on what area you live in. When they first offered dsl in my area it was the 1.5. A friend of mine got it when they first offered it. Then later I got it and got the 3.0. All he had to to was call verizon and tell them he wanted the upgrade. and they gave it to him at no charge or price change. Of course he was already paying the 30 bucks a month for it.

Heck full 3/768 is awsome. It wipes the floor with 56K  anything but 56K actually works for me but full 3/768 is way too good for me. I think an upgrade to 4M is coming soon for 29.99, a 5M connection would increase in price for like 34.95 I bet. |

Actually, for those under about 5000 feet loop length, there is a 7.1/768 package offered at 44.95 a month from Verizon now. You have to specifically request it though.
