seems that SBC DSL is slower than my friends with cable here, you're right about
that. I get 1.2 MBs (around 160 kbs) and they get 1.5 MBs download, but i get a
faster 256 - 348 kbs upload. only thing is, to get internet cable you need to
also get cable TV. nah...!

one GOOD thing about SBC is that they don't care if you run a (non-commercial)
HTTP, FTP, SMTP, etc., server -- but Comcast cable here won't let you.

while SBC has allocated billions to build out a fiber optic system to the
residential door, my downtown apartment isn't in the mix. nuts.

ah, well, i'm happy -- i can remember when v.90 was the speed demon... <smooths
