I got an update from my office mate who signed up for DSL in Bedford, Ma. Flashcom just informed him that regular DSL service is not available :-). He had signed up for 768K. They did tell him that IDSL is available in his area for $90.00/Mo. This is a 144Kbps service. Apparently their computer does not have all the details because it took them 4 weeks just to tell him that they could not give him the standard 784K/384K ADSL service. (Rates are $49.95/Mo for 384K/128K and $79.97/Mo for 784K/384K, free installation and router). He has not made a decision yet, but price wise for him it is a break even because he is dropping his residential phone and ISP. 144K 24x7 service is still much better than dialup modem. If he installs it, I'll report his experiences :-) Jerry Feldman <gaf at blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix http://www.blu.org - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
