He he, welcome to my hell ;). There are lots of places that will
provide DSL access, if you live close enough to the CO. You generally
have to live within 15,000 feet of a CO. There is a CO in Nashua on
West Pearl St. (I honestly don't know where that is) I know Flashcom
( http://www.flashcom.com/ ) was offering a very nice deal for DSL:
something like 1Mbs down 768Kbs up for $79.95 a month. (I saw this a
couple of days ago on there web site, but I can't find it anymore)
You may also want to check out http://www.getspeed.com/ they have a
nice form where you enter your address, and they find a list of providers
who will service you.
Media One is a big pain in the arse, they've been telling me 9-12
months for Road Runner in Nashua since last February! I finally sent
their support an email whining about this, and here is what I got
back:
