Pray tell, what specifically makes Comcast's bandwidth "worthless"? What is then Worth MORE? At my office, I either have UTP or coaxial cable, provided respectively by Qwest and Comcast. What other options do I have, that would keep my broadband costs below $100.00 per month? Isn't most of the 'Net access in the United States asymmetric, as opposed to symmetric services seen in Europe and Asia? /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
