i was forced to switch to dsl when i moved into my current apartment
because this building has an exclusive contract with a different company
for its cable tv service. I chose verizon dsl because of the price. I
must say that there is very little downtime with my verizon dsl. the
biggest advantage that rr had over my dsl is that the 768k download cap
sucks when it comes to sharing the internet connection between the 5 comps
on my network, especially if one of the computers is downloading anything.
also, my pings for online gaming have been a little more unstable with dsl.
as good as my dsl service has been, i'd still go back to rr if i had the
chance. the download cap and the unstable pings in my games have put a
major cramp on normal computer usage. perhaps if these problems don't
bother you then verizon dsl would be better in many ways than rr. i know
that there are more dsl options out there that will outperform rr without
any trouble but pretty much all of those options are out of my price range.
