DSL Service

our office is moving to Long Island City in New York.

i'm waiting for DSL, but Verizon said they are waiting for some card??

is there any way i can get DSL faster than Verizon?

since our phone carrier is Verizon, is this same thing if i order any other internet provider?

verizon may give you a discount for going with them.
but as long as your phone lines are DSL capable, then you should be able to go with any provider

thank you, zephyr_hex!

we need DSL asap.
verizon said we need to wait 3 weeks.
if we go to any other provider, would they say same thing?
i'm checking to http://dsl.covad.com
what do you think compared to verizon? installation speed.
is verizon providing symmetircal dsl?

We wouldn't have a way to answer on behalf of Covad or any other carrier in that regard. But remember this: Verizon still owns part of the wiring to you, so sometimes when you have issues, that carrier still has to coordinate with them. However, Verizon would have to tell you what services are available in your area, but maybe it's available there?
