| when i signed up with Zianet a couple of years ago they were the only company offering dsl where i live (in the country where there's no cable, either). my neighbors phone lines didn't even qualify for dsl and they have satellite connections.
so, i had no options if i didn't want a dial-up connection - and was really blind-sided by the recent shut down.
Qwest still doesn't offer dsl service where i am even though it's over their phone lines.
so, all situations are not necessarily the result of bad first choices. |
