Update from Netzero:
The $14.99 price point for DSL service is still in effect but the customer must now pick a two year contract.
With this 2 year agreement and $14.99 price point, Verizon is guaranteeing them this price for life (as long as they stay an active Verizon DSL customer).
No price games or tricks.
