| Nice! Static IP has been nice, but "up to" twice the speed is nicer! Thanks for the advice you all. I'm going to keep it!
Now -- on a non-OS X topic, but related: I own a speedstream SDSL modem, and if I can use it with Verizon, I don't need to pay $99 or commit to a year (I'm waiting for cable internet to come). Does anyone know if the current setup of Manhattan/NYC Verizon DSL will work with the SpeedStream 5250 SDSL? I know it handles ADSL, as that is what I have. I noticed Verizon's modem looks like it plugs directly into a standard phone jack, which is not the setup I have now (ethernet in and out are on the modem). Is there an ethernet-to-phone line adapter?
I hesitate to open the modem Verizon sent me because that commits me to $99 or 12 months.
Any additional experience or help is appreciated!
Thanks
