thread_title: Original research

message: the article has no information about verizon business dsl.  there are more than 2 speed packages, the highest currently offered being 7.1/768.  TSET's should be classified as level 1
- TSET or any non public information regarding the Verizon DSL support structure should not be present *at all* in the wikipedia article for Verizon DSL. Please find this material in sources suitable for citing. Do not include original research on wikipedia. --216.69.223.249 07:55, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Business DSL

message: This line strikes me as distinctly POV:
"However, many analysts are correctly seeing these lower prices merely as introductory "bait and switch" loss leader campaigns."
Further, the article that is cited for that line focuses on SBC, not Verizon so it is a weak reference.

message: "This price is locked in for 12 months after which the monthly price rises to the mid-$30's."
Is there any fine print available on the web which shows this?  I can't seem to find it on Verizon's website at all.  Not even in their disclaimer.
The 768 Kbps service starts at $10 a month and raises to $20, the 3 Mbps service starts at $20 and raises to $30. It's clearly outlined in their advertisements, or at least it was when I signed up. 71.175.116.123 09:40, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

thread_title: Rated best over top 5 cable providers

message: Does Verizon employ bandwidth caps, throttle connections, or shape traffic to inhibit p2p usage? I've been unable to find any reliable sources on this, and everything I've read points to Verizon being the only major ISP in the U.S. that doesn't employ any of these practices. This is hard for me to believe given my experiences with them. If anyone has that info, I think it would be a useful addition to the article. --Subversive Sound (talk) 02:53, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I doubt it but have no source.  What I doubt is not Verizon, but the implication that these practices are ordinary for most DSL providers.  With CATV, there is a need because users must share the access network.  With DSL the core network is shared but not the access network, hence no need.

message: The main source to show that Verizon uses PPPoE for 'east' customers and DHCP for 'west' customers is a Yahoo! Answers question. This is not a good source, and I don't feel this information should be posted using such an unreliable source.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.51.48.1 (talk) 19:45, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
