Re:Isn't the Zip code unusually large (Score 1)

I live in a very urban area of N Portland OR (15 min bike ride from one of the main exchanges for Portland). This area in called the Silicon Forest. Intel, IBM, Veritas, and OSDL are here to name a few. I only have Cable, and dial up access in my area. At 7PM at night it is so slow. I called Quest to inquire about possible DSL in my area, and they have told me that I am too far away from the CO, and they have no plans to upgrade my area. My co-worker lives in Gresham and has Fios. My other coworker lives in the country about a 20 min drive outside of Woodburn and has DSL. There is no competition in my area for access.
