The service, with downloads of 7 megabits per second, was available on 400,000 lines when it launched in January. In other areas, Verizon's fastest DSL service is at 3 mbps.
The 7 mbps plan costs $42.99 per month with an annual contract.
Verizon has not been putting much investment behind DSL, or Digital Subscriber Line technology, focusing instead on drawing fiber-optic lines that can provide even faster Internet access, plus cable-TV service. In the first quarter, it added a net of just 4,000 DSL customers, compared with 262,000 FiOS Internet subscribers.
Several other phone companies, including AT&T, provide top DSL speeds of at least 10 mbps in some areas. Qwest Communications International Inc. introduced 20 mbps service in April.
