Verizon's DSL Gets Naked

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."

It's a 3 mile limit from switch to jack generally, and the further you are from the switch, the slower the performance. At least in central NJ, DSL service is still very hit or miss. The area around Six Flags has DSL, but the greater Princeton area doesn't.
