I like to sign up on this deal, But on-line won't allow me. Over phone CSR could not have this deal.

Did anyone renewed and got this deal?

I called and was told to cancel and re-apply online for this promotion since I was on 17.99 promotion. So asked to be transferred to cancellation dept. and the lady offered to crdit me the diff. between the 2 rates (14.99-17.99=$3*12 months)$36 instead of cancelling and reapplying.

you are lucky. if you were in chattanooga, tn, then all you could get is comcast. they have a monopoly in this city and the mayor and the government seem powerless against them. No other cable or internet company can come in unless you want to use satellites.

Uhhhh I don't understand the point of your post. AT&T is NEVER available in the same area as Verizon and vice versa. And Verizon has wanted more money than this for this service lavel for a long long time.

Anyway, whatever, I edited the title.

I use the RoadRunner lowest service level at the moment which is $19.99 and if you don't buy enough of the Cable TV options they add another $5 to the bill. So I'm paying $25 for supposedly the same speed. However, with Verizon I was getting speeds of around 800 - 900 Kbps. With RoadRunner I'm lucky to hit 650Kbps. And there are No Other options available in my area, save the Dial UP . If this deal was around when I placed my order, I would have opted for Verizon instead of RoadRunner. So for me there is more than one thing that make this price hot. Although I accept it may not be for everyone. It doesn't mean this is not a hot deal it just means it is not for you.

Good Luck.

Uhh what the hell are you talking about. I'm in SoCal and I can get Earthlink DSL, Verizon DSL, AT&T DSL, Charter Cable, and Earthlink Cable all to my door.

What is this number (18005616789) for? Not for Verizon...

You're lucky. On the promo page it says "A shipping and activation charge of $19.99 will apply"...that makes a savings of only $16.01 per year.

I have this 768k plan on dry loop, it is definitely fast enough for HTTP surfing and downloading. Average download speeds for me are 80kb-100kb/sec when downloading files from websites.

My only major frustration is when downloading torrents. For some reason torrents only download at a speed of 5kb-15kb/sec on this plan. Anyone have the same experience?

I get as high as 50kb using bit-torrent.

After numerous tries, only tech support isn't busy. Billing is closed for the day and Cancellation has too high calling volume.

FIOS + GPON = 100MBit service ... thats enough for me.

How do I get DSL Dry Loop added for only $5 a month?
How do I avoid the $19.99 activation/start-up fee?

Thanks
Well you basically call them and tell them that you want to switch to Dry Loop. They will then tell you if it is available in your area and how much it costs in your area. Some folks are reporting that Verizon is charging $10 per month for the privilege of Dry Loop.

Hey Gang,
I got in on a $14.99 plan last summer that expires in August. I've got 2 questions,
1)Can I just sign up now and have them start the contract from Aug. to next Aug at $14.99
2)Who owns the modem after my 1st year contract? I'd like to dump this 6100 and get the Versalink 327w. I don't want to find out that Verizon wants the 6100 back after my contract is over. Do they usually ask for the modem back after the contract has been completed?
