Raise your hand! Howdy Jim! I PM'ed Pat a few days ago, about all the noise going on regarding the "telecom spending slowdown" who-ha. I dunno about your neck of FL, but over this way, you can't listen to the radio for twenty minutes without heading ads for DSL, you can't drive anywhere without seeing a billboard pushing "high speed DSL Internet access", and you can't open the local newspaper without seeing ads for DSL. I note that the frequency of these ads have not in any way slowed down. Without spending for infrastructure, I wonder how "they" (ILECs, CLECs, RBOC's, etc) are going to meet demand? Warmest Thanksgiving Greetings to you and all the Amati "vets", Steve

JW@KSC- RBOCs are advertising DSL like crazy, yet most people still get reply back saying service not in your CO, line not qualified and other feeble excuses. Service reps quoting 2-4 weeks to check out line and get back to customers. IMHO, the companies want DSL installations up and are cherry picking from the large backlog and are taking the easy installs. But then again, who would have anticipated the HIGH Level of demand with only 4 years of lead time.
