That was the official terms when I signed up. But if you get your local and long distance through them as well, they drop the rates so I pay $39.95-month for the 15-2 service, and they just speeeded it up, gratis, to 20-5.
Yes and no. The stuff coming out of the box on the side of the house is pppoe, but you need not know that because they supply a free router (their version of the D-Link DI-624, called a VDI-624) that talks pppoe to the outside box, but talks just plain ethernet to your computer(s). You do not need a dial-up line for pppoe in any case, but your computers will never see it anyway.
Other ones will work, but with problems if maintenance is required. The D-Link they supply has custom firmware in it so Verizon can remote test everything all the way to the router. One thing (least important, but obvious) is that they can tell you when it is time to replace the battery in the ups part of their box. The techie says they can tell when you are going to have trouble before you even know it.
They will if you pay more.
They do not do it in the router. Probably at the central office. They do allow me to run the ntpd even though it is technically a server. But you will not be able to run servers anyway unless you get a static IP address, and these are normally for the more-expensive business accounts.
Yes, the $35-40 is just for the internet. Normally, the customer will also pay a similar amount for "regular" phone land line service...
I thought they might do. I suppose they block port 80 so you do not run a web server.
