But you know what?

I have Internet.....

Who in the hell thought that getting even dial-up within a stone's throw shot of the White House would be such an exercise in futility?

I had it easier out in the boonies!



In any case, I'm online(Via AT&T's Wireless "Edge-Wear" or basicly wireless ISDN)

I'm humming along at 98k(As in almost but not quite 2x 56k) and asking myself is it worth the 200$ card and 62$(Military discounted) a month service fees?
Maybe yes maybe no
......Oooooooh email...... 396 messsage.... DOH!

Broadband is an odd thing

I live out in the middle of nowhere, yet I have cable + cable tv for 50/mo

$62 for ISDN? Ouch, and that's after the discount?

I pay $59CAD for cable.

Keep in mind its "Wireless" ISDN, which costs a heck of alot more than regular wired ISDN

Still since I can bring the old comp into work, nor do I go much around the building with the ol' laptop it sees little "roaming use"

ISDN = It Still Does Nothing.

You're better off trying to get broadband :P
