<VV> No Corvair?> High Speed Netting

[chsadek at comcast.net]

Comcast is up to $109 mo w/ computer access (Internet & email), but not all digital TV channels, Basic plus minimum to get Speed Channel; no HBO etc. 

Verizon has FIOS available at low intro rate but suspect once it expires, it will be alongside Comcast in price...

Matt, you lucky dog, you. Around here, in the technological backwash of 
Ohio, my choices are 1)HughesNet at twice my present cost, 2) 
Time-Worthless, at half again my present cost (and no doubt including all 
the attendant TW BS with it), and X-5 wireless, at a quarter more than my 
present cost. X-5 is a "local" high-speed that uses dialup for uploading 
but a local base-antenna-to-home broadcast for downloading. All in all, not 
a very stellar range in choices. 

Maybe some day my phone company, Verizon, will actually get their 
high-speed service extended to my area. Their deals look like possibly the 
way to go. Some day...... (and maybe a house will fall out of the sky, too.)
