After spending over two hours with Verizon tech "support," I was told that my 3 Mb DSL account was "ineligible" for Verizon's free wi-fi service ... even though Verizon's wi-fi page says that the requirement is at least 1.5 Mb DSL (or 20 Mb FIOS). Forget about Verizon not hitting the right market, or limiting accessibility for non-windows devices: their incompetence in not even allowing a qualified customer to attempt to use the service guarantees failure!!!

Anyone here read "Synners" by Pat Cadigan? Remember: It's only impossible in the real world!

Umm ... 200 KW is slightly less than 270 English hp (or slightly more than 270 Metric hp), not 350-400 hp.
