When they do decide to replace the lines, it usually ends up being fiber to a DLC and then oops.. we ran out of money for a remote dslam. -- FYI: Bolt cutters work great on coax.

When I went to Nedbraska 2 years ago, the hotel has a computer/56K modem, I connected at 28,000bps, when I got home my 56K flet like broadband (for a while, then it sucked again). At least ADSL2 is a minor (and i mean minor) improvement, I would not mind getting an extra 50kbps. Soon (maybe in a century) everyone will have 10mbps+ LAN in all there houses, and we will be bitching about how we can only get 5 megabytes/seconds.

John Q Doe @lmco.com	I wouldn't bitch about 5 megaBYTES/second on a 10megaBITps LAN. I'd be filing a patent.
