Unfortunately, DSL is not available in my area. I don't think that the provider who has DSL monopolized here in my province of Newfoundland Canada, is not planning expansion any time soon but get this,the Company the company has applied for a $5.00 per month rate increase on its phone service! It would make you thro up what you never ate! because they own the backbone, I doubt they would allow competitors. Most likely they're going to receive a royalty from the cable companies any way. On the other hand, That might change now that Cable high speed is available in there dialup service area. The DSL provider will certainly loose a big chunk of there dialup customers so maybe, just maybe, they might do something. I'm not waiting, I'm jumping over to cable in a couple of weeks. Even if the DSL monopolizer, which hasn't been to kind and supportive to its rural dialup customers, all of a sudden decides to make plans to launch DSL in the spring, I won't be jumping back . Screw them! LOL <evil grin> Michael
