They can't all be deep

Finally I can get broadband! Verizon to offer DSL for $14.95 a month. Which is about eight bucks less than I'm paying Earthlink for dialup. It's a pity, because Earthlink has been that rare joy, a provider so glitchless as to be almost unnoticed. But faster and affordable wins.

Also, d'oh. Oh noes, says Mer, I can't try to go to the Serenity press screening tonight because I'm having dinner with Mom. Who is a huge Firefly fan and is bringing my DVDs to dinner to give back. Yeah, it took me 12 hours to figure out the solution to this conflict. Because I am smart like rock.

Yay on inexpensive broadband and meep on conflicting schedules.

I'm so excited though, that it's only about a month until we can see it PROPERLY.

Yippie!

I went with Earthlink's DSL in 03, and have never been happier.

I am in a bad position where I can't switch isp, as I never want to lose my email addresses...

From what I hear, the Verizon DSL may give you a small amt. of aggravation but mostly it works fine. It's worth it, anyway, at that price and for getting to move on from dialup (I can't remember what dialup was like now. I just. Can't. Imagine it anymore. *shudders* Which is silly, because at one time dialup was perfectly adequate, thank you...)
