Hi Bill, I live in Vermont and have had Verizon DSL for a few years now. I really like their service.
Verizon has committed to providing service to 90% of Vermont in the next 2 years and are aggressively working on it. Not a day goes by where I don't hear someone commenting on Verizon coming to their town. Another option you may want to look at is putting pressure on your local cable company for service. Hope this helps!

I live in a rural area between Ithaca,NY and Cortland, NY. We are not served by any cable companies. I have been trying for close to a year to get Verizon to tell me if they will ever get DSL in my area. I keep getting told they will notify me when it is available. I did get one representative to tell me it was not currently planned for my phone line. I am beginning to think the central office near my home has not been upgraded to allow DSL in the area. It seems to me that they have an obligation to make this service more widely available. Any suggestions?
