[KLUG Members] Cable/DSL?

>I have a question about cable/DSL in the BC area.

BC?  Except maybe for Atlantis,  I don't think DSL or Cable was available back
then.  Probably not so many web sites either,  so no one really cared.  You
should loan that time machine to the Enron employee class so they can go back
and cash out before the bust,  I'm certain they would appreciate it.

I have several users who use the corporate VPN over AT&T and Charter.  Speed and
reliablity tend to vary depending upon what segment your on more than what
company, etc...  Most are really good,  a couple of users have really crappy
connections.

>Is DSL widely available there? 

"Widely"?  Sort of.  Visit www.speakeasy.net.

Welcome to west Michigan, "You want information? Huh."

Earthlink sucks.
