Jinx, AOL is partnering with QWEST, the soon to be largest fiber optic nationwide system, partnering with the Bells for wider bandwith. Someday we will all be on AOL because of high speed connections. The phone companies are reluctant to offer high speed at competitive rates because they would lose their lucrative T-1 line business to the cheaper connections. AOL is the answer to the Bells problem, they get some of the money and AOL gets the connections. I have four houses. The Ski house has a local ISP that charges 19.95 a month. The beach house has several local ISP's from 17.95 to 34.95 a month. The Island home has one ISP at 44.95 a month. and the mountain home has several ISP's with various prices. None of the phone numbers are local for more than one house. AOL has local numbers for all four houses at less than $25 a month total. The ISP service at all four houses would cost about 100 a month. One of the houses has a local number for ATT World net. Like I said, someday we will all be connected to AOL. cdaiseyPhD@where-am-I.com
