7 miles makes all the difference

I know, I used to have a cox cable 5000/768 connection
in my apartment. Then I moved into a house, less than 7 miles
away from the old apartment, and not only can I not get cox
cable, but I also can't get DSL.

Oh well, life goes on. Dialup sucks though. Took me around 1/2 an hour just to download the MS updates yesterday.

I think it's interesting, how a few of the posts in here, speak for everyone, when they say people don't want or need broadband.

I agree I live less than 8 miles from a town of 30,000 and am lucky to get 28.8 dial up. some people inside the city limits still don't have access to broadband and most who do have only 1 choice as Cox and SBC/ATT don't like to compete. What really bothers me is that my GF's Mom lives in a town of 152 people 45 miles away and has DSL at her home. The difference is she is not serviced by SBC/ATT
