this was the exact service that they were trying to get (although it was only
like 20 a month for the first six months with some multi-line package and 
you have to take this long distance carrier and they want half the soul of your 
first born after it's third full moon . . . you get the idea)

when my friend finally got someone who would talk to them at verizon she was 
told that while they were trying to get allowed to sell dsl service in 
murphy but hadn't been approved

later she called city hall and a clerk there confirmed that verizon wasn't
allowed to sell dsl in that area

of course i didn't talk to any of these people personally so i'm getting this
second hand, and i trust what anyone from verizon says about as much as I trust
a microsoft marketing exec but you never know
