So what am I supposed to do? I want control of my own servers, and I can
neither afford nor justify a frame relay private circuit.
Also, I have to wonder about something. If everything you say is true, you
are implying also that DSL service stinks. If that's truly the case, why
has it become such a runaway success?
I think I'll wait to see how it actually performs before I slap it down.
I'm not committed to any type of minimum service contract, so I really
don't have a lot to lose.
