Thanks Capt: I bought COVD and PSIX for that matter because I think like many others that the Internet could become as big as the motor was 100 years ago for the economy. I like DSL technology (I don't have it yet) as it's supposed to be faster and I dislike cable for personal reasons. Anyway, I bought COVD because I read somewhere they were in DSL and I bought PSIX because I read somewhere they have a big network although to honest with you I'm not that confident in what a network actually means. Anyway, when you say a dedicated line versus a copper line, what is the difference ? I'm lost as to what a shared line is, does COVD rent space in the telephone company office for their routers ? Of that 2k to 3k offices that you noted before are they the telephone offices that have COVD routers in them ? So COVD just owns the routers, right ? The DSL circuit is copper up to the office and then just DSL from there ? Thanks
