What more can I ask for?
The freedom to use it.
You get what you pay for.
One thing Verizon does though is block the incoming http traffic, which
means you can't run an http server on your machine and have people read
your blog, say. First I thought they only block ports 80 and/or 8080, so
I tried running httpd on a different, obscure port. No go. They ain't
stooped. They block the http packets regardless of the destination port.
The only way to beat that is through an ssh tunnel.
I can't see how the service is outstanding when they are blocking ports.
Is that something you have to pay extra to have them stop, or can you
tell them you know what you are doing and don't need to be protected from
having your machines added to a botnet?
They have business services too and these rates also look pretty good:

They aren't in my area so I don't have the service, but I'd guess that
even with the home/dynamic IP version they probably provide some hosted
web space like Comcast does so you don't need to run a server from home.
If not, there are plenty of places that will host a blog.
