Verizon's DSL Gets Naked

Posted by timothy on from the everyone-does-eventually dept.

Ant writes "According to Broadband Reports' news story, Verizon today announced they are now offering 'naked DSL' service (DSL without mandatory local service) in the Northeast. CBS/Marketwatch indicates Northeast customers (ex-NYNEX and Bell Atlantic) can cut or switch their local service with no penalty, starting today. The company insists the move will be national in time, but gave no timeline for when naked DSL would be available elsewhere. Verizon had promised this in May of last year, but then seemingly backtracked."

    I was hoping now I could believe to surf naked without me feeling ashamed. :(

    I still have to live with the suffering, it seems.

    Is Verizon actually calling it "Naked DSL"?

    If they are...can't wait to see the commercials for it.
