Sure, but when you call someone up to buy it it's a different story. Or 
perhaps it was just Verizon's usual good customer service.

Also, to get to that page from verizon.com you must first select "Large 
Business". Nowhere in small or medium business is the product offered or 
mentioned.

The discussion in this thread has been primarily about using BRI as a 
replacement for POTS in a small/medium business environment. Other than 
connecting remote offices or teleworkers, most large businesses will 
simply get PRI or larger. I had a medium sized customer of mine put in a 
full T1 just so one person could have VoIP and Internet back to the main 
office.

In light of that let me ammend my earlier statement, though I thought 
the context was clear; BRI is a great solution for small businesses, but 
  Verizon wants to pretend the service doesn't exist for them.
