I live in the heart of US West territory; in fact, I live in a prefix not serviced by the one 5ESS in 10,000 square miles. Otherwise, I'd be able to get Centrix to work and use DOVBS ISDN to give me 64k for about $18/month. FWIW: I *can* get Frame Relay, thought it isn't pushed very hard in this area. It's just that the cheapest provider wants $220/month to connect me to their cloud (and US WEst wants $300/month for the exact same service). Just because you can't get it doesn't mean they don't want you to use it. Getting the FR information was worse than pulling teeth; they actually suggested I pay inter-LADA charges for ISDN before I got them to admit they had FR. 8-).
