OK. I just called Verizon. They said they offer broadband, and said you need to insert an Aircard into the side of your computer. Is that what you have? I don't seem to have a slot for a card on my computer; just a DVD compartment.
No. You don't need an Aircard - I'm not sure what that is unless you're going wireless internet which is what it sounds like.
Ask for straight up DSL service - they'll send you a DSL modem which you plug into your phone jack for the transmission. A modem cable is provided for the connection to the computer.
