Nah, that's me who lives just down from Park City, where the Bulls are
staying. :-) I live a few miles from my "local office" of US West, and I
can only pull 24,000 to my provider, when back in Civilization <Silicon
Valley> I could pull 26.4 or 28.8 all day long. Here in Metro Salt Lake,
they are using splitters to take 4 lines and convert them to 96, or some
such. I'm not a telco guy, but the numbers are close. Oh, and they will
only guarantee the lines to 1200 bps. :-/
