I have no problem with paying more in the future, as long as the money
I pay helps go to continued growth of the net. Also needed is faster
access. Curently we are waiting on the cable company here in Phoenix
to get there act together and provide some service. Meanwhile, ISDN is
out of my financial reach so I am stuck at 28,800. As long as the
whole thing speeds up, I have no problem paying by the gig!

Just my opinion...
