Why don’t you want fios? Its about 1000000x better than DSL. I work for VZ but even I choose comcast over dsl service.

If you _really_ want dsl you should still be able to order it if you are adamant about it. When you are in a fios capable area and call in you go to the fios dept and talk to a rep like me who’s number 1 priority is to try to sell you fios (or else face the consequences if anyone is listening to us lol).

If you want I can check your address and see if I can place a dsl speed upgrade order for you. The crappy part about dsl is that you have to buy the modems unlike fios where they are provided as part of the service.

I speed tested at work today and this is what I get there:
