We out here in Hesperia California could sure use It, As the Local Telephone Monopoly (Verizon ; ex-GTE ; ex-Contel) doesn't provide DSL beyond 3.5 miles (about 5.64 Kilometers) and Charter Cable won't have Cable Internet access at least until June at the very earliest. Of course Verizon is aware of that New DSL standard that uses 19awg wire to get DSL out to around 15 miles, Me I'm 5.125 Miles from the Nearest Verizon CO So I'm at least within range now, But No telling when Verizon will Upgrade the CO to this New DSL standard reported as by http://www.dslreports.com/ of Course.
