Trey & Harry, excellent info. Thanks! The higher speed prices that Harry gave are pretty interesting. Would seem Bell is about to give us something I thought might never happen. I assume that these are Westell & Paradyne modems depending on where you buy. I don't see how they can do that as I would ditch some T1's w/ adsl services. Could be some of the why Bell is only moving slowly in select areas but its starting to look like Bell is seeing something here. Maybe a trade off for slower speed T1's in some instances. Things are slowly turning around in view of deployment. We are finally seeing people show up using or considering adsl services. Dug

That Dug person asked: "harry, my understanding of this is that you get vox service on the DSL line included in the price. is this inaccurate?" You are not inaccurate, Dug. BEL's ADSL service tiers (for which I posted prices yesterday without a reference to ASDL or to the fact that WSTL's modems are explicitly mentioned in the mailout) do include simultaneous (or, rather, concurrent to be technically accurate, I suppose) voice and DSL use with no additional cost or lines. I forget whether TVcable allows similar dual use (i.e., watching, say, CNBC financial news while browsing newsgroups and websites). I seem to recall somebody posted about this in a discussion on splitters some weeks ago, but I don't remember what was posted. Anybody? BTW, 1999 started off pretty well with that general surge just prior to market closing -- I went up about 3% on an annual basis between the time I left work at Noon and checked yearends last night. Is this the famous "January effect"? Regards, Harry
