I had called about 3 weeks ago to the Woburn office. I was told that my office and home areas were just about finished. The person with whom I spoke indicated that there was no selling yet and that they wanted to get it right. I also called GOAM and, of course, the salesman, at first, was trying to sell me the current 19.2 service. When I told him I needed something more robust, he told me that they had a great service coming out very shortly that he couldn't wait to sell. He told me that service was @ 128K. Playing Mickie the Dunce, (not difficult given my role here LOL), I asked if it was Riccochet and he answered "yes". I told him that I had read that this was experimental and not very good. He told me that was not what other salesmen had told him. He indicated that he could not wait to be able to sell it here and that almost every caller was looking for something akin to "wireless dsl." He asked me to tell him where I had read that the service was not very good and I almost told him Yahoo & SI shortie posts LOL. I plan on following up the middle of January, with the hope that I can get going as a "user." BTW just listening to the CC - confirms that financing should not be a problem. Many alternative sources and prospective types of partners mentioned even IF the markets do not recover over the next year. Of course, certain shorts will tell you that this means an imminent bankruptcy.
