It was recently announced that Verizon would no longer be allowing it's customers to FTP transfer into, or from their personal web spaces. The revised  terms of service are now in effect and the only way to alter your website is to use their own web based "site builder". Verizon claim that it's for "security", but the funny part.. If you pay $5.95 or more a month, you are once again allowed to FTP in.

Of course it's secure. It's securing Verizon's revenue stream!

Indeed, only users paying for the extra $5.95 or $9.95 hosting plans are now able to upload their files directly.  While its hard to complain when a feature is bundled into other services (it still is not "free"), there lots of choices in the marketplace for under ten buck hosting.
