mindmeld,

That's a great way to get phone service. I have been comparing the various wireless plans and have come to the same conclusion you have.

DSL and ADSL need dedicated lines to work unfortunately at this time because of the hardware requirements at the Local office. That should change in the next year with follow-up technologies.

I can't wait for the twisted pair to die!

Frame connections are expensive!! Get yourself a cable modem as soon as service becomes available.

There are now about 1 million cable modem customers in North America. This number is growing very very fast!! DSL has about 35,000 cutomers.

What does that tell you ?

regards,
