My friend just got a Sprint DSL and asked about that. Apparently Sprint only allows their own ISP (which they brand as EarthLink). In his case, he told them it was for personal use (a little lie) and he got it at a residential rate. Same goes for phone service. If you tell them it's a home phone, you get it at residential rates and save about 3x the cost.
But it's a really nice DSL. We were recording 1.5Mb/sec download and 640Kb/sec upload. Wish the MPUC would get it's act togeather and start regulating the Metro broadband market (spell that setting minimum requirements for all CO's). We still can't get any DSL in the Maple Grove/United Telephone CO. --- Dan Rue <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It is a sprint line.
