You could always add a static arp entry for Verizon's gateway on your end
and proceed with option D as I indicated. Of course, if they change their
MAC address you will lose connectivity until you adapt.

| case, .2 worked briefly -- probably because we had just swiched over, and it
| had an association of our MAC address with a valid IP.

Possibly there had been an incoming packet to which your router had
responded as a proxy. That would not look spoofed since the address
would be in your range, and in any case your router would have picked
up the MAC address of Verizon's router in the process.
