I am personally looking at adsl, and hoping I can get alteast a static ip.
I am not concerned if I loose my subnet. Just a statis would do to keep my
domains and dns servers etc running.
I will be watching the site carefully.. there is no news about my area..
being evaluated... even the sales line wasn't helpfull. But I am on some
marketing db now.. so wait and see..
