Does anyone here use Verizon DSL? I am currently with Time Warner and thinking of switching.

The package I am looking at has speed of 1.0 Mbps. I have no clue what that means and my main concern is if I will still be able to stream movies from Netflix etc without any buffering etc. as well as having a comparable speed to Time Warner.

How is your experience with Verizon? Thanks!

might add this...when there is a poer outage....you don't lose phone service...

that's one of the biggest reasons for me......don't rely on cell phone....forget to charge it all the time....

If you have FiOS, your phone wont go down for 8 hrs due to a battery backup.

We have time warner and would never return to verizon. They have the worse service for being in the communication business. Time warner beats most any business for service hands down.

As far as cost.........we called time warner and got our monthly bill lowered by $30 bucks! Other folks have done the same. Just call them and AX 'em! What do ya have to lose?

OH.....and I am satisfied with their service.......so far!

I wouldn't go back to Verizon for internet either.  However, TW for phone service is lousy.

Verizon has the worse service ever! Had them once and will never go back.

We have time warner and have no complaints. There service is SUPERIOR! Just called them last week and asked for a reduction and they knocked off $30/mo. (we have the 'all in one')

DSL is a decent option for general web surfing, but to stream videos, you'll get a LOT of choppiness, depending on the speed (don't get anything less than 1MB) .. but if you do a lot of streaming, see if you can get their 3mb package (only if you're very close to the switch).

It's good for those on a tight budget ..

Good luck with whatever you decide

Well, I'm very happy with TWC except for the rate increase on my internet.   They are rasing it from 30 to 45 dollars which isn't too bad
except my budget is tight. I would think that they would extend the promo price of 30 for me.

Better for them to write off the 15 difference than lose the whole 30 right? And I have only the very basic cable, they did offer me bundle
packages but I won't watch all those channels.

MT-thanks for the advice about the MB stuff, don't know much about that and didn't want them giving me something that was going to be too slow and then having to upgrade after the fact.

Thanks everyone!
