ADSL

[Ripcrd6]

I just read the article at Salon linked from /. and it is very informative.
The writer is testing the services in Boston area though and your KC
mileage may vary.   I met a guy that is a cable installer for Jones
Intercable (just bought by Time Warner) and he said cable modems will be
rolled out in the next month or so.   Should be $23 /month.   $20 for the
service and $3 for the modem rental.   He says the cable modems are pretty
expensive, so most people won't just go buy one.   My ethernet cards are
already in baby.
