Hi Ed:

Thanks for your reply. The pricing sounds pretty good, however, I'm looking for something with a minimum of 2Mbps out of the server per line - for full screen video streaming. Anything like this I could lookup?

TIA

SNET offers two levels of ADSL service - Level 1, good for about 5 miles from the CO, is 144kbps out and upto 1.5Mbps inbound; if you're within about 10K' of the CO and the copper is up to it, they offer a Level 2 connection at 384Kbps outbound and upto 6Mbps inbound. They charge $39.95/mo and $79.95/mo, and an added $40/mo for static IP. The local cable company, ComCast, is supposedly going to offer their broadband service RSN at $49.95.
