RE: [Nolug] Cox: grrrr.... BIG GRRR...

This is an option, but I've looked at the prices for sstar.com and they are
far too high, unless they have lower prices than are posted on their site.
You can get SDSL from MegaPath.com in this area, of course it depends on
your location compared to the CO, but it runs $219 for a full 1.0 bps
here..Southern Star shows rates for ADSL, but not the bandwidth, just how
many users as follows:

Type of Access Hours per Month Monthly (Per / Bus) Setup
ADSL, 1-3 Users Continuous $60 / $75 $110 / $150
ADSL, 4-9 Users Continuous --- / $115 $150
ADSL, 10-19 Users Continuous --- / $155 $150
ADSL, 20+ Users Continuous --- / $195 $150

Note this is ADSL as opposed to SDSL at 1.0, about 30% slower than a t-1. I
believe you also get multiple IP numbers with this account.
