[luau] Verizon DSL

[Ho'ala Greevy]

Amen to that! 

You can't beat flexnet for DSL, not even on the mainland.  Where else can
you get Gold DSL (768 Kbps/768 Kbps) with no bandwidth charges and a
static IP + unlimited statewide, Nationwide, & Canada dialup access for
under $100 a month?

The caveat though, as it reads in large print on the website, is that
"FlexNet operates as an ISP targeting experienced Internet users."

but that's most of us here right? :=)
