Ah. So then you get the Ford model because it has more cargo space, right?
And you would switch to what other phone company?

Because they aren't forced by law to give 28.8 kps. The are forced by law 
to give 9600 kps. There is no contract that designates the speed of 
connection that can be established over the lines.

Because it's their fault.
