I'm about to sign my father up for broadband. He lives in Clearwater, Florida. His telephone is with Verizon who are offering a 2 year deal for broadband internet for U$14.99 per month for 2 years with a connection speed of 'up to' 768kbps. The deal includes a modem and the first month free and is valid for orders placed before 5th January.

Could any of our American cousins advise if this is a route worth exploiting?

I live in UK but will be visiting him on 9th January. If I order this now I could do the techy bits whilst there.

Many thanks,

John
