| No, it's Verizon. I was referring to ATTBi cable internet services which has yet roll out cable modems. Verizon is the telco providing T-1 services in our area as far as I know. Both providers are based out of Lake Elsinore, CA. As for Verizon, they aren't doing much better with sell recommendations across the board.

| Re: I love these stories Who is providing the port access? It's unusual for both the loop and the port to be provided by the ILEC.
The market doesn't always have a lot to do with the company's long-term viability, especially with all of the day traders out there.
We might see some further telco consolidation but if you think Verizon will just go out of business I think you're wishfully thinking. I think you best hope is they get bought out by someone with better service.
I do think these home grown solutions are really neat. My only concern is about redundancy and uptime. I know a lot of people in my neighborhood (myself included) depend on a reliable connection for their job. Fortunately, T/W Roadrunner has been available for years and now Ameritech has put in a Pronto RT so there are options. On an interesting side note, I grabbed an Orinoco wireless PC card and 7dBi omni-directional antennea and drove my neighborhood. The number of homes with 802.11b networks shocked me. Every fourth home has wireless networking already! | |

| Re: I love these stories One provider uses Verizon for both, the other uses Verizon and a small upstream provider (I don't know which one).
I'm wondering about Verizon spinning off it's wireless unit in '03 and what affect it will have on it's ability to pay off it's debts. If it would result in their purchase by someone else.
