Whatever you do, don't actually use the high volume feature of their broadband.... 3.6 If you subscribe to Broadband Service: 1. You may not resell the Broadband Service, use it for high volume purposes, or engage in similar activities that constitute resale (commercial or non-commercial), as determined solely by Verizon.

Unlimited NationalAccess/BroadbandAccess services cannot be used (1) for uploading, downloading or streaming of movies, music or games, (2) with server devices or with host computer applications, including, but not limited to, Web camera posts or broadcasts, automatic data feeds, Voice over IP (VoIP), automated machine-to-machine connections, or peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing, or (3) as a substitute or backup for private lines or dedicated data connections. They certainly have an interesting idea of what "unlimited" means. What, exactly, can you accomplish on the net without a "machine to machine connection"? jon ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as pcw () flyzone com To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ipArchives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting- people/
