Verizon and I are incompatible...

Well, {at} 6Mbps, there is no more jerkyness or waiting for a video to load.
I can't imagine the price of those faster speeds, but I'll stick with
'under $35' for 6Mbps...gonna drop Dishnet at the end of May and see if
there's anything better than '250 analog channels' for $69 available. ATT
has already offered the same channels with almost all channels being HDTV
for $67/6months.
