Yah, paying provisioning costs when you're only going to need something for a few months is a bummer. But provisioning does cost -- it's going to be the most expensive part of your individual circuit. They don't just flip a switch. They actually have to have a guy drive out to the CO, wire up your pair to the DSLAM, and possibly drive to your place and put a meter on the line to qualify it, and then possibly also go out along the wire route to remove load coils and bridge taps from the poles. Once it's up and running, your particular loop doesn't need much individual attention. (Infrastructure costs are huge, of course, but those are "shared costs", not individual to you.) -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
