Hi,

Well, as I'm sure you realize, Phoenix is still catching up to some other
parts of the country with respect to the technology industry.

Recommendations?


> What I mean is that for $50 in Atlanta, everybody gets 1.5Mbps, DTV,
BellSouth, Earthlink, etc.  All fed from Bellsouth and Covad.

> DirecTvDsl was the only one for static IP that was reasonable.  There was
no hardware to purchase as well.
> As for hosting ILS, thats something I wouldn't want to host anyway unless
you had at least 1.5M upstream and I can usually use a company I work for to
host it for me.

> What I don't get is that for $50 here, you get 640K.  For $80 to $100 a
month, you get 1M.  For $200, you get 1.5M.  And those prices are pretty
much dictated by Qwest.

bandwidth goes for TV anyway.

> I'm not knocking Phoenix because I love it out here and hate Atlanta with
a passion.  I just don't get the cap on bandwidth.  I'll gladly live with
640k for $50.
