Jack,
Join the club. I've been waiting for broadband for about three years now.
I'm about 20,610 ft from a central office, and all of the phone lines in my
area are underground.

Covad is the other one to look at. The best I can do in my area is 144/144
for about $70 a month.

Unless they changed their TOS, don't do it. They target that service at
people with one computer.

I'm in the same situation, and my Courier V.Everything has worked well.
