<< 1) It's not available in your area at all. I doubt it will appear everywhere in 8-9 months. Bell Atlantic, my NYC telco, says 2nd half 98 to begin offering the service. Who knows when it really will be. >> I notice that's the one baby bell that's not participating. Hmmm... << 2) When it is available, if you more than 2 1/2 miles from the telco CO, your too far. >> Where did you see that? Please provide me a reference to support that claim. << 6) Joe six pack says "ADSL who?" >> Joe six pack starts getting downloads 30 times faster--Joe six pack understands xDSL real fast. << 3) If you can get it it will be more expenseive. Bell Atlantic would only tell me under $100 a month and you stll have to get an ISP on top of that. >> That's not my understanding of how it works. Your telephone company can provide the internet service. << 5) Corporate road warriors can't get ADSL on the road. >> And how exactly do they get cable modem service on the road?
