The crappiest part about this is that cable companies are backed by encyclopedias of Federal legislation barring anyone from competing against them. At least from using "cable" lines.

DSL shouldn't mess up your tone. If you are getting problems, talk to your neighbor and have his DSL service send him a little device that prevents his voice phones from interrupting his DSL. Then just rip it out of his phone jack and put it in yours.

Dunno what else to say. I live a mile away from Apple's R&D campus, two major HP campuses and the heart of Silicon Valley, but we were among the last of the major metropolitan areas to get widespread cable (and DSL is still lacking). Go figure. I would have had the fastest internet in the world (for the money) if the cable companies had installed the technology when they had it (my former boss has had cable internet for 7 years! 900kB/sec is impressive when it's in your house it beats the fractional T1 at your house.)

I read that the next generation of adults will factor in internet access and their internet connection as a major factor in deciding wheere to live. Freaky, huh?

Have you put in your $0.02 to save contour.org?? Put in what you can spare to keep the site up. Check the General Forum.
