It’s done.

I just ordered DSL through Verizon.

I was a happy AT&T cable customer for a while right after we moved to our new house but then they were bought by Comcast. I was left with no other cable internet option here in Richmond and DSL was not an option at my address.

I’ve been a reluctant Comcast customer for the last couple of years but a recent rash of occasional internet outages over the last couple of months (including the most recent one: out Wednesday morning and no available tech until Saturday) has finally(!) been the splash of cold water I needed to wake me up and get me back to DSL.
