The same six month discount applies to the 3M tier, for a net cost of $15/month for the year.

In Mass it looks like you can't get DSL only (new customer).

Verizon: "Looking for our 6 months FREE offer? Add Verizon Home Phone to your order."

I just noticed the fine print on bottom of the page:

The service requires Windows Vista or Windows XP 32-bit with Service Pack 3. Not available on Macintosh, Windows XP 64-bit, or Windows 7 operating systems. Other terms apply.

littletemple said:I don't think this works if you currently have Verizon DSL. My 1yr contract expired 2 months ago and I'm currently on month-to-month plan and called to get the 6 months free and they said I'm NOT a new customer.

then threaten to cancel, ask for cancellations and you'll see how they change their tune. MAKE SURE YOU OFFER TO GO ON CONTRACT AGAIN for one year as well. that is a requirement.

On a side note I put in my phone number and it says Verizon fios is not available in my area. Funny I have been on Fios atleast 2 years now.

Nope, that what I said. Told them I'm on a month-to-month and I want to sign a new contract and get 6 months free. They said no, so I said that I would want to cancel my month-to-month and then sign a new 1 yr contract and was told that I would still not be considered a "new" customer.

I am also on a month-to-month. I told the rep that I am considering to move to a cable promotion that offers Phone/TV/Internet for $99 without a contract. I asked her nicely that if she could let me talk to a manager. She transfered me to another lady who gave me the 6-month free promotion. I guess it depends on who you are talking to. Will see how it goes and how messy they may do to my DSL bill as some people have gone through.

Why I only see FIOS and don't have choice for DSL? Any one know how to get DSL instead of FIOS.

has DSL gotten better over the years? I had DSL about 5 years ago and it was horrible, had trouble connecting consistently, connection speeds were erratic...had to ride out the contract for a year before i was able to switch back to cable...but for 15/month with 6 months free would save me a ton...
