Off topic.<br> Does anyone know if AT&T DSL is available in the twin city area? See the price is around $13.00 for DSL.<br></blockquote></div><br>

That's just ISP charges, you'll still need to lease the line. Qwest still offers their ISP services which is <a href="http://qwest.net" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">qwest.net</a>
.<br>
<br>
I use <a href="http://qwest.net" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">qwest.net</a> for my ISP (not the MSN stuff) which is about $10/month
for the ISP charges, line charge is about $38/month and static IP's are
about $15/month for a block of 8.</blockquote><div><br>

How would you rate the quality of the line? Is the down/up speed good?
How would you compare it to cable (assuming you've had cable internet)?<br>
<br>
I had Qwest and found the latency of the line to be terrible back in
2000. Sometimes a key stroke would take a second or two to echo back to
the screen in an SSH session.<br>
<br>
I would love to have 8 static addresses for that price, but only if the speed and reliability are there.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
