Actually that is a lot of money. And to make it worthwhile you need an updated computer. There are still a lot of early Pentiums out there that are working fine on dial-up. Not everyone can write off their connection and hardware costs, Glenn ! <gg> Don't you believe most people have two phone lines so they can use the net? The main beneficiaries of increased broadband penetration will be the providers of pornography. They will make tons of money if it happens. But lots of folks, or most, aren't intersted in that. Live music is very nice. So are TV shows not available here. The hold up is that regular long distance is rock bottom cheap. Why bother with jittery unreilable VOIP when you can call anywhere anytime for 4 cents/minute on a regular (good) phone?? My ld bill is about 32 bucks a month, and I would never bother with VOIP to try to save on that. Long distance voice is the best bargain going these days. I spend $1000/month on long distance. I would like to save on that.
