hi ya rajiv
where do you live ??? geez....
xdsl in San Francisco bay area is around... ( upload/download )
128/384 $ 40/month
384/768 $ 80/month
768/1.5 $ 200/month
1.5/1.5 $ 400/month
usually bandwidth restriction....usually 4-8 ip#...
for $45/month of 64k dsl connections... why not just combine two
plain old ordinary 56K connections ( $20/month) and combine it together...
or get those "free net connection" promo offers and combine those two
free connections together ??
- guess ...the question is...
dsl is a fad... like diets...but it is here to stay if its good...
stay away from ISDN ... you donno how much your bill will be
at the end of the month for see all those "useful" gif files in
the html pages you go to visit...
have fun
