Next message: Jason Partyka: "Re: [LUNI] Ameritech SpeedPath aDSL"
Argh! I just checked their web page...even if they didn't have a few
downsides..they are
yet another high speed internet access option unavilable to me...I seem to
be within 2-3 blocks of
their coverage area...they seem to go west out to a bit past route
59..except in the area directly west of
the loop..in that area (where I live), the coverage area dips eastward
quite a bit...I don't understand why
this is their particular coverage area, but I got left out again...
...sigh..
(btw, I live in Winfield).
