Actually, it's $49.95, which is $10 a month cheaper than AT&T service on the same lines. > And my usual plug for MV, they're local, small, good, and they leave you > the hell alone :) Ya, I'd love to give them the business, but they're just not price competitive with DSL. Their website shows $100 for 1.5/384, compared to Covad's $70/mo for the same service. I telecommute, so the speed's important. I don't move a lot of data, but when I do, I don't want to site around waiting.
