Interesting that you mention "onerous restrictions". A friend of mine up in Canada was about to subscribe to a high speed service in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he lives and I asked him to get the details so I could advise him. The local phone company there supplies a DSL connection with a 3 mbs down/1.5 mbs up connection but they are *very* restrictive on what can be attached to their connection. The cable-modem service however is similar to AT&T broadband at 1.5 mbs down/368 kbs up. The big difference though is that the cable-modem people said "We install it and after that it's yours. We don't care what you do inside your place of business (number of computers etc..). So I advised him to go with the cable-modem since it sounded far less restrictive. He then installed a 4 port hub/router/firewall and attached all 4 of his office machines.

The market is correcting itself. I'm paying $99 a month for SDSL, and I don't even get that high a speed: 144kbps up and down. However, I don't have the onerous restrictions that Verizon and other providers slap on their customers and I have a static IP, great for hosting web and email. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
