Kathy, sorry no. But I'm jealous. The only DSL option I seem to have here
in they area, surely one of the most wired places on the planet, is...
PacBell! This hardly seems fair :<(
now let me be clear. There are of course several other companies offering
DSL but they are targeted at businesses and charge well over $100/month.
They include IP address blocks, speeds up to 1.5Mbit/sec, etc. I just want
a 345Kb down/128Kb up pipe, that's it.
And PacBell can't seem to decide if I am quite close enough to their CO.
And who wants to rely on PacBell for Net access anyway? It's a scary
thought.
If anyone knows of DSL providers in the Bay Area for no more than
$50/month, please let me know...
