>>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.

Yep, same here, 20 miles or less in any direction and your in Bell South territory and can get just about anything you want. We are fighting back though, petitioned the city government to install their own cable system with internet access. Took over a year but it is actually being installed right now, some segments are allready online and this office should be hooked up within a couple of weeks.
