I can get netzero dsl at 1.5Mbps for $30 or Verizon dsl at 3.0Mbps for $42. If 1.5 can do the job then there's no need for verizon (I mean $12 is $12 after all, hehe).
For $55, does it included contents (cable TV) and internet, or are they extra?
I have satellite TV so I don't use cable. I only got the internet because I'm a junkie. But I do know if you have cable TV you can get a discount on internet. So you have to pay regular rates for cable TV and get the internet connection for about 45 bucks. About a ten dollar discount. But let me tell you what. When you see the speed it'll be worth it. This morning I downloaded a 680 Meg movie in 8 minutes. Try that with any DSL.
