> Verizon never decided to deploy ADSL service: 

I s.t.r. that Verizon offered ADSL quite a while back*, and so many people   
wanted it that they were overwhelmed. Maybe faulty memory, but I think   
there was a class-action lawsuit that they lost. That Verizon salesman who   
implied that I'd be sorry (recent chatty message) refused to discuss the   
lawsuit, or even acknowledge its existence. 
*DEC still an independent company, maybe? 

Btw, a chat or two with Verizon FiOS-truck people was/were very good;   
smart, capable folks.
