Default Re: verizon dsl reliability

DSL is way better than dialup

It is but it is still awful, and NOT reliable AT ALL.

It's just as reliable as any other non-dial-up connection (i.e. broadband).

I used Verizon DSL before I upgraded to FIOS. I wasn't playing poker at the time, but it's definitely fast enough. Online poker in general isn't much of a bandwidth hog at ALL. FWIW my speed was 768Kbs/128Kbs, or 96KB/s down and 16KB/s up. And I actually got those speeds about 100% of the time.

A word about Verizon: I almost never have had connection problems, except occasionally in the middle of the night (say, once a month or so at that time). However, Verizon has some of the worst customer support I've ever dealt with.
