So what I'm hearing is, stay with dial-up :( Okay, next question then, anyone have any ideas on how to get Verizon or AT&T to get off their collective behinds and get either DSL or cable-modem access into a town? I currently can not get either service (local CO is *not* equipped for DSL by *anyone* and AT&T is not offering cable modem access in my town, which is a former cablevision town!).
