Re:A 1.5 ADSL Connect? (Score 1)

DSL is the technology. The fact that it's synchronous or asynchronous doesn't make it different technology. To be honest there is no ned to call it SDSL because Digital Subscriber Line IS synchronous by nature. It's just marketing.
There is a company in the States [SC] that's building 'Wireless Internet In A Box'. It seems that this is going to become bigger than a geek thing. All the hardware needed to get 6 systems connected to a wireless router / switch and value added service like premium email / webspace and the such. Would make it a real boonies budget internet connection with a small cul-de-sac or what have you.
How much would 6 families shell out for the WIIAB and DSL [SDSL even] hookup? Average out $40 per family for normal broadband making it $240 a month. Would you pay up a years worth? Would you be happy if that gave you full support both for the hardware, DSL and value added services?
I'm sure there are others out there thinking the same things.
I know of many small communities in Northern parts of BC that would probably think seriously of taking a step like this if it's cheap enough on a monthly basis and the start-up costs are reasonable.
Gotta love the whole 802.11 growth. 802.11a is here with hardware ready to buy and 802.11g is coming.
