Re: DSL Completion Notices ?

We have seen a huge uptake on DSL all of the sudden in this area, probably
because it is pretty rural mostly. We have had our ATM DS3 on order since
October of last year, finally have a tentative install date now for March.
I'll believe it when I see it though. I would still think they are making
tons off of the ISP's , since we are another link in the chain keeping the
customers from going to Cable, and they still get paid from us. If they
wait too long, seems they will just lose as customers in this area will just
jump ship to Cable since it is the only other thing here.
