The 44.95 package is a special business package, that everyone under 5k feet loop length and on a CO that has enough capacity to handle it.  Its a package to compare (sort of, though not well) to the 44.95 FIOS package.  You'll have to call billing and request the upgrade.

Dont agree that VZ is not pushing DSL - all I get in the mail and newspaper is ads for 768 dsl for 14.95 a month.

Since I started out with 300 baud - I am quite happy with 3/768

How did he get it, did he just call in? Be nice but then i havnet heard anything about it or it could be just a local thing too. Just sure it was verizon, i belive bellsouth in FL and they have a 6Mbps package.

I just had a price change on Verizon DSL
for a very long time I have been paying over $39.00
each month. then a flyer came to my home saying
I could get DSL for $14.95 month.. I called & ask why
I was paying so much more for my DSL. Their answer
was that I could change to the $14.95 cost if I wanted to.
 I ask what would be the change in my speed, they said
none. So I said ok. then after checking with contacts was
told my speed would drop. so I called them back & after
a lot of talk found out I have had the lowest speed all
along. They said my location can not get to higher speed
because I am to far from the main office.
  My download speed is under 700 kb  upload speed is only 86 kb
  all I can say is I'm a little faster than dial up angry5

I like my connection, i just would like verizon to upgrade us soon.
Lastest test seems fine:

::::::::::.. Download Stats ..::::::::::
Connection is:: 2821 Kbps about 2.8 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB)
Download Speed is:: 344 kB/s
Tested From:: http://testmy.net (server2)
Test Time:: Sun Jan 22 2006 05:09:22 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)
Bottom Line:: 50X faster than 56K 1MB download in 2.98 sec

Though i can only get 2.8Mbps when im on firefox but not on Internet Explorer.
Cmon verizon get with it like Bellsouth.

I dont think you will see any upgrade in near future with DSl. you next upgrade might be a move to fios for the same price you pay now. I only pay 29.99 for fios b/c i had dsl b4.

Well i only qualify for 1.5mb/384 and my guess is that verizon is not gonna upgrade dsl any longer....they are trying to encourage there customers to switch to fios, which is why they offer all those good deals for previous verizon dsl customers
