I am currently paying 70 bucks in a "packaged deal" from them for my 3Mbps/256Kbps connection...a service that over the past 2 months has had an average of 10-20 signal drops per day. A problem that has caused me to start working on a lawsuit against them with the second best lawyer in my state, to make them pay for holding a monopoly, violating FCC regulations, price-gouging, and all around horrible (or lack of) service they give. Thankfully just a couple days ago, Verizon DSL now reaches my location, and I will be using their service for the next several months until I get myself an apartment in downtown Madison where I can get Verizon FIOS service. I'll let you guys know what I think of it myself when I move into a downtown Madison apartment.

It's a good day to be a Verizon customer. :lol: As I just read you can also break your cell phone contract for free at Verizon because their SMS price raise.
