I frequently find myself inside some of the BellSouth CO's. Today, I saw a
Speed Stream box (but was unable to read the model number). The guy in the
office was in a hurry to get out to take care of something, but did mention
that it was a new one that uses USB. If I can get some more info on it, I'll
let you know.
