>I live a hop, skip and a jump from BFE.  

I'm in GR proper, the SW corner of the NE section.  I like my 
neighboorhood and my neighbors, but living in the beating heart of the 
Zondervan dominion takes some getting used to.  Even finding coffee can be 
tough after ~9pm,  without driving for ten minutes.  And they never stop 
whining because they don't have any customers.  Go figure!  Down near 28th 
St. (thats the south end of GR) it isn't so bad.  But I digress....

You should go north of GR,  where packets fear to tread.

>Seriously though: I actually live in Alto, 14 miles or so SE of Grand

There are some neighboor hoods in GR where you can do that too.  I know, 
I've lived in them.  However, in that sense it doesn't seem to come across 
as a recommendation. :)

In GR you have AT&T Broad Band everywhere.

Ameritech provides DSL to all but some small pockets of the city.

Earthlink coverage is ubiquitous,  or at least they think so.

Apparently iServ offers DSL too,  but I haven't gotten a chance to calm 
them 
yet.
