Hello Derek,

Yep ... watching a great sunset over Timp right now ... beautiful night! ;-)

I have to admit that I am blown away by the lack of marketing by TCI. My sister lives in Pleasanton, CA and doesn't know if she ever received a notice that she could get a cable modem. My parents just bought a house in San Ramon and likewise had no idea! Only because I have a friend in Pleasanton that is a techy did I find out about the service ... that is all over that area!

The contact that i have had with TCI lately has been exploring alternative access for friends here in Salt Lake City. The DSL rollout by US West is a joke ... like I previously posted (and I think you found out) trying to get it is really hit and miss. We have been bugging TCI lately and building the contacts on how to push.

Up here in Heber City I can't even get cable! DSL is out ... so I bought a frame-relay T1. ;-) I recently moved it to an office here in town, so I'm experimenting with wireless (150kbps) from my house to the T1 ...
