According to the email I got from Verizon advising of the change,
accessing the alt.binaries through other news servers but via Verizon
still vilates their terms of use.


No, that is not correct.



Please note that your use of any such service is still subject to our
Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy.


See, it does not say violation, it just says you still have to stay in
compliance with their TOS, such as no spamming, no child porn, etc.
