Amen! Sitting here in the middle of West Palm Beach, surrounded by Adelphia
cable subscribers and billboards for DSL service, I *still* am stuck with a
56k modem. I simply can't get anything in my apartment- and it's a relatively
new place. Heck, it took me two months to get the phone lines fixed so I
wouldn't get disconnected every 30 minutes! And in 3 months I'll be moving on
to a new place where DSL and cable haven't reached either... I've just had to
give up an figure someday down the road I'll get something better. Maybe it's
time for city life. Nah...

<< I will be stuck at low baud rates into the future, it seems. DSL will
never be an option for me -- our house is too far from the CO, I've
tried to get it twice. Cable access is not offered in our neighborhood
and won't be for a very long time -- the only cable company here is
starting their installations in the suburbs and won't be providing
access to the inner city for a long time. I have an ISDN connection that
only runs on one channel (64K) -- which isn't much better than 56K. I am
considering downgrading my phone line to a plain residential line and
getting a 56K modem, since it will save me a lot of money and the
difference in connection speed is negligible.
Don't assume even all the techies have broadband. ;) >>
