Lucky you. We were thinking of moving into a house in Leek (Staffs) that
hasn't even got gas!! But it does have an outside toilet.

PS Actually, when we went to look at the house, I went into the garden shed
and there was a glass bottle of, of all things, mercury sitting on the
bench. I told the estate agent, but he couln't give a damn.

You should try coming o the uk Eri*k*a
I too am stuck with ISDN, but with unmetered dial-ups a paid for priveledge,
I can only get single channel without paying through the nose...
Costs me £40 (~$60?)per month for the line
and £15 per month for single channel unmetered internet access (all this
time my other line sits there unused...)
I live 10 miles from the nearest town, Cable modems are available 7 miles
away, ADSL ~20 - but I have to pay more for something thats slower :(
Dan.

Hi Ron, ... I use ISDN.
A little background about my abysmal internet access....
The township I live in, Parsippany-Troy Hills, is a corporate mecca. It
covers 25 square miles of land and houses a population of approximately
50,000 people. Among its diverse attributes is the extensive transportation
network. The Township maintains access to Route I-80, I-287, I-280, US 46
and US 202 as well as State Highways 10 and 53. It is located merely 25
miles from Newark International Airport and is only 28 miles west of New
York City.
It can take as long as 45 minutes to get from one end of my town to another.
Parsippany-Troy Hills is home to Pfizer; Nabisco; CIT; American Home
Products; Lucent Technologies; Dialogic, now part of INTEL; Tivoli (used to
be division of IBM or still is, I don't remember); Prudential; Cendant; ADP;
NY Life; Chubb Life Insurance; Hoffman La Roche and State Farm is building a
beautiful 400,000 sq. ft. class "A" office building. Not to mention numerous
strip malls and other assorted smaller businesses.
My point is, with all of the corporate businesses piling up around me, there
should be an abundance of great, high-speed internet access plans. Ha!
Cable?! Not available on my street. DSL? I'm about 300 yards too far from
the station. T1? Please, to have it run to my office would cost a bloody
fortune.
So what am I stuck with? ISDN. Well, at least it's not a 56k dial-up. And
working in studio isn't too bad. But it costs me about $120 a month on
average.
So that's my internet access saga.

Howdy All,
Sorry to introduce levity here, but...
What are some of you US based, urban-located, home office
developers doing for Internet access??
I just discovered that my 2+ year arrangement with my DSL
provider is about to come to an end. My provider (Zyan
Communications) is filing for bankruptcy. I've been paying $50/mo
for a business-level SDSL service at 384k with 32 IPs.
I recognize this was a land-office deal, but I'm having a hard time
coming to grips with $189/mo for the same thing when I "transition"
my account to the provider who bought Zyan's access (DSL.net).
That $189/mo seems to be close to the going rate out there...
So what's everyone else doing?
Thanks for any info.
Ron
