yup, and somebody who works at home much of the time, if I don't have my network connection, I am crippled. That is still the biggest hurdle to successful deployment of broadband to the home, the idea of reliability is still not considered sacred.

Libbt, I am so amazed that broadband isn't more widely used already. It is such a totally different experience on the net with it. I would trade in my satellite TV thingy before giving up DSL. And, total ownership cost isn't much more expensive than dialup; I used to have 2 phone lines, 1 for phone, 1 for computer - with DSL I save that cost, and the isp is included, too.
