Before I moved to Raleigh, I specifically asked about servers. They told me that nothing would be blocked. AFter my year's up, I'll probably move on to TW. I've had good luck w/ cable in the past. I havn't had DSL in several years. Now I know why. The telecom's really need to get their sh*t together if they want to stay competitive. Right now the cable guys are kicking their butts! I suppose the most ironic thing about this is that I work for the phone company! regards, jp
