Excerpts From Verizon's Terms of Service for DSL:

==== FROM TERMS OF SERVICE ====

3.4 The Service is a consumer service and is not designed or intended to be 
used by any business or for any business or commercial purpose.

3.6.1 You may not resell the Broadband Service, use it for high volume 
purposes, or engage in similar activities that constitute resale (commercial 
or non-commercial), as determined solely by Verizon.

3.6.2 You may connect multiple computers/devices within a single home or 
office location to your Broadband modem and/or router to access the Service, 
but only through a single Broadband account and a single IP address obtained 
from Verizon.

3.6.5 You may not use the Broadband Service to host any type of server 
personal or commercial in nature.

3.7 Verizon reserves the right to audit connections electronically to 
enforce these or any other provision of the Agreement.

And, for a good laugh:

15.2 You agree that the Internet is not owned, operated or managed by, or in 
any way affiliated with Verizon ...

==== FROM ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY ====

3. You may NOT use the Service as follows: (a) for any unlawful, improper or 
illegal purpose or activity; ....
(g) to post information on newsgroups which is not in the topic area or 
charter (e.g. off-topic posting) of the newsgroup*;  ...
(q) to use the Service to operate a server in a manner that interferes with 
the network or other users' use of the Service;


*Look out Russell ;-)


As I read through the entire "Terms Of Service" and "Acceptable Use Policy" 
I saw an incredible number of occurances of the phrase "at deteremined 
solely by Verizon".

Yuck!
