-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- [sorry so off-topic, but I had to respond] !! And to think that sometimes I believe that we're in a backwater down in New Orleans... About two months ago I gave up my 128kbps ISDN line for an ADSL line (256kbps upstream, 1536kbps downstream). The ISDN line had cost me $80/mo from BellSouth, and (if I would have been paying) $30/mo from my ISP. Now, I pay nothing to BellSouth, and (if I had to pay, I would be) paying my ISP $60/mo. My ADSL router was free (though it doesn't have a built-in hub). I would have expected better connectivity options in the Bay Area!
