May be off line tomorrow... 02/20/2006

[John Esak]

Hello all,

Tomorrow, we will be removing the T1 in my house and changing over to cable.
The expense is unreal at about $14,800 per year!!! But that is not why I'm
changing. I will be going to a business service of 5.0Mb down and 1.5Mb up.
The nearly 1/7th the price charge is just an unbelievable extra. It is so
sad to be leaving my ultra-reliable T1 for a mass-man distribution... but
the benefit to someone who takes down and puts up as much data as I do...
makes it imperative to switch. (Saving the $12,000/yr doesn't *hurt*
either!)

I'm guessing nothing will go right... :-) and Murphy will be visiting my
house for the duration tomorrow. So, if I don't respond to much... even my
own "Desperate Plea Poll"... give it a day... and I'll hope to be back on
then.

P.S. - I am rationalizing away the loss of guaranteed reliability to the
belief that if the *cable* goes down... many thousands of people immediately
start putting pressure on the cable company to "get it fixed!". This is
probably as good (or better) than my rantings to our service provider the
rare occasions when the T1 did slip... :-)
