 My brother would also like to do the same. He would like to take part
in this discussion, but he will not be. He knows his ISP reads this ng
and feels uneasy about basically telling him in 'advance' that he is
going to leave. I couldn't tell my ISP "Moving to cable, see ya.".
Becuase it's not the ISP's fault they cannot match those speeds, it's
Bells. I'll have to tell my ISP that I'm selling my computer or
something along those lines.

 Call 1-800-GET-WAVE. If you reserve yourself you save $100! That's a
very good savings. So the installation costs $50 in totall. If you are
not satisfied for any reason, they will give you a complete refund
minus the installation. They sound very confident. 

(It really does sound like I work for Rogers)

 I agree. It's refreshing to hear simple common sense.

Unless these other lines become affordable, they will never fly. A
perfect example of this is ISDN. If it was practical, everyone here
would use it. Cable Wave is the only practical solution. And hey, it
will be neat being connected to the internet all day and hearing a
beeping sound from the computer when you have mail.
