Ah, CrimsonBlade, my friend, I see you at least tried the DSL. If my recollection is correct we were both looking into this back in late April. I signed up for it, too, received my modem, etc., only to have Verizon pull the plug for no reason other than the lame excuse that they didn't have the lines/equipment/whatever to service me. I said, "Right, uh-huhn." Next thing I know a flyer comes in the mail a week later advertising the very same service but this time with MSN in the mix. When they signed me up there was no mention of MSN. Can you catch the drift here? I think MSN was a late addition and they were backpeddling from new accounts prior to MSN.

Anyway, I need to get off of AOL. I have a 56K modem. AOL has 56K modems, but the only problem is my telephone lines NEVER connect me faster than 21600 BPS. It could be 4 a.m. in the morning and I am still at the same speed.
