so I just ordered internet service thru verizon and as it turns out, even though they dont say anything about it on their website, they now offer naked (dry loop) DSL :tup: 14.99 a month for 768K and 35m/o for 3MBps connection 🙂 awesome… great deal IMO :tup: bad part is though, I have to wait intil early January to get hooked up. I guess they’re running behind as their busy setting up a fiber optic service :hyper: :tup: :tup: just though I’d give ya’s a heads up ---
