Woops. I try to be fair.

Indeed; my geek neighbor has Verizon DSL and, afaik, is completely happy   
with it. He's still mostly in the dark about Linux... 

For most people I'd recommend Verizon DSL.

Beyond question, imho, Speakeasy is costly. (Does Verizon DSL pay its way,   
or is it a "loss leader" service? I don't mean that question as a   
put-down, either. A source I trusted said maybe a year ago that it costs   
Verizon about $1,000 to provision each new FiOS customer. They are in it   
for the long haul, I'd say.)

Couldn't agree more. 

Best regards, and I hope everyone had a good solstice! :)
