In many cases, there is one and only one DSL provider for a given address -- the old telephone monopoly continues to have a stranglehold here. In cases where multiple DSL providers are available (or where cablemodem is an option), the monopoly provider is usually more flexible for that customer, whereas they tend to take a much more cavalier attitude towards those who have no other option. I think that it is wishful thinking to assume that Economic Darwinism will sort out this problem. -- Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles at skynet.be> "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), reply of the Pennsylvania Assembly to the Governor, November 11, 1755 SAGE member since 1995.
