I'm really surprised that Microsoft didn't attempt to buy Northpoint... since Microsoft's DSL service uses Northpoint. But then again they would be competing with AOL Time Warner and AOL Time Warner is going to cry about it...
reply to chris I dunno, but I too am getting anxious about the sale. I just got my IDSL through Northpoint and Megapath 4 months ago. I suppose I'll just preay for no interruption in service...
