I did a little more surfing tonight and found that Earthlink says I can get DSL from them. I called one of their reps and he thinks that Verizon had a technical difficulty and that is why they cannot provide it. He is shipping the modem out to me. I'll keep my fingers crossed because Verizon thought they could provide it to me at first too. Something tells me that the modem is going to get here and I am going to have absolutely nothing but a bill from Earthlink. Then, the headache will begin. I am sure they will try to remedy it for months to come. Hopefully, they will provide me with complimentary dialup in the meantime. Even though dialup sucks, I guess it is better than nothing for the moment.
