Now this was like 1997 so I could be way off... LUAU (or whatever it was called years ago) got an after hours guided tour of the Miliani RR and cable facility thanks to Doug Stanfield. There was a lot of interesting stuff in there and it was definitely full of things that geeks would love. I

I was a contractor at Bell Atlantic building out thier DSL a few years back. The choke point was at the CO (central office). Basically all of the DSL lines from your area terminate there and that system is connected to the main office and then to the internet. At Bell Atlantic the connection fro

Correct. I pay both Flex and Verizon and it ends up being more than the $39.59, I think I pay $65 per month, but I like being able to LEGALLY run my own servers with fear of ports being blocked or getting a letter saying that it is against the AUP. And I pay much less than the Roadrunner business

Aloha, Don't know anything about this promotion, but I use a Verizon DSL line to Flex and have been very happy. Roadrunner is MUCH faster and a little cheaper than what I pay, but Flex doesn't care that I have my own mail and web server and Flex is NEVER down. If you don't need to run any server

Amen to that! You can't beat flexnet for DSL, not even on the mainland. Where else can you get Gold DSL (768 Kbps/768 Kbps) with no bandwidth charges and a static IP + unlimited statewide, Nationwide, & Canada dialup access for under $100 a month? The caveat though, as it reads in large print o
