SWB DSL - Disapoinment

Wed Jul 17 00:47:04 CDT 2002

My throat is sore from badmouthing DSL service.  I just got a call from 
SWB myself offering me service for $40/month and no installation charges 
since I had it at my old place.  Take a look at our gripes in the 
archives.  Plus, with TWC, I get free cable :)
