They guy's problem in Holland is that his cable company sucks. The cable TV
feed is actually from Connecticutt, and there is zero chance they will get
cable modem service. Most dialup ISPs are non-local calls. The few that
were local calls were poorly run. And, even the phone service is of poor
quality, so there is no DSL, no ISDN (at least for any reasonable price).
