Wake up. There are lots of high-speed dead zones. I have a friend across
town (Bakersfield, CA) who wants high speed access. People less than 1/4
mile from him have it. His cable supplier (Cox) won't do it and PacBell
hasn't yet. Supposedly PacBell is putting fiber to their "B" boxes to speed
up telephone and internet access. When that happens he will come "alive" but
that may not be for another year or more.
