Impressive (and fair) pricing, but...

1) Doesn't state upstream rates (6mbit/128kbit! What a deal!! Uhh...)

2) Hw does this help those of us who are 12,000+ feet from the CO due to Crazy-Go-Lucky City Wiring extravaganzas?

I'd rather pay more a month knowing they'll have an RT available/near my abode guaranteed within 6 months. Most folks here in northern California are stuck with two providers: Comcast or AT&T/SBC. There are a couple wireless providers (wireless = unreliable = no thanks), and I'm intentionally excluding companies like Speakeasy and DSLExtreme (since both rely on AT&T/SBC copper, and all telco support/service issues have to go through them regardless -- why pay for the extra tier which does nothing but add extra delays?)

NorCal is definitely not the place to be for broadband, that's for sure.

The 6mb elite package actually comes with 384kb to 608kb upstream.

The Pro package is 384 to 512 and the Express is 128 to 384.
