>At least USWest pays lip service to ADSL, in this GTE backwater I'm in I can't even get ISDN on the tentative schedule! Right now, unless you can get cable modem access, I don't know of any high bandwidth available at resonable prices. Of course even with cable the bandwidth goes to pot if the segment your on gets overpopulated.

Finally, someone else who lives in a "GTE backwater". We're in the same boat here in Oxford, OH. No ISDN, ADSL or cable modems on the horizon. "We have no plans to offer that service in your area." or "We're hoping to implement that service next year". Frustrating.

Plus, Cincinnati Bell (2 miles south of town) offers ISDN and ADSL to 85% of their service area. That's not to mention the various cable companies that offer cable modem service around Cincy.
