690321 2008-07-19 22:39:00 Just got new twisted pair (ugh!!) in the street repaired and I am back on DSL again .

Will send more when I get all the networks up and running after trying in vain to get it running on my side .

It wasn't me or my stuff . . they actually hit a main feed between me and the Verizon substation .

Getting involved with twisted pairs sounds risky at best.

Thanks for the note....I was going crazy with nothing working but the WinTV and my WMP10 files.

I could FAX..but that wasn't any fun.

Anyway: I pay about $14.95/mo with the Verizon Freedom Package (an extra $29.25/mo) which includes:



Call Waiting
Caller ID
Call Blocking (selective...by me)
Three-Way conference ability
10 Mail Boxes for voice mail
Unlimited Long Distance to US, Canada, Mexico, Guam, Midway, Philippines, Hawaii, Alaska, Jamaica, Puerto Rico.
Custom and ID distinctive ringtones
Real Humans who speak English consumer services representatives


The only reason why I get such a low rate ($49.90+ fed taxes and junk) is by combining the Freedom and the DSL packages together.

I am currently getting about 4.9Mbps down - 1733Kbps up.

They promise better speed in a while..they have me on a temporary link-up right now.
