Jeesh - you guys are being strung out. It's �30/month here (about $40) and the installation is free. All you have to do is provide a Router/Modem for around �100 ($140). >T1s also have symmetric upload/download speeds, something DSL can't claim >unless you pay a LOT more for it ($150/month or so). Those are nice - we get that on ISDN - it makes stuff so much faster compared to asymmetric at the same speed. I mean our line is only 64k but man is it fast compared to a modem..... I guess you have to weigh up the costing. Do you get a modem/router with T1 or is it pure ethernet or PPPoE? -- -- Mark Benson Any spelling errors are attributed to PEBKAC Vintage Macs List Nanny SilValleyPirate - AIM silicon_valley_pirate_uk - Yahoo!
