[TriLUG] [OT?} Alternate ISP

[Jim Ray]

Hmmm.  They *did* have DSL at one time.  I have had bad luck with DSL,
though, because I am 12,000 feet from the central office and understand
there is a 15,000 feet technical limit.

Regards,
 
Jim

I used portbridge on your recommendation and was equally 
happy with them. However they only did dial-up (I think they 
were frozen out of DSL by the big boys) and when the time 
came to go to DSL, I reluctantly had to drop portbridge.
