Comcast may not be bankrupt, but I spoke with one of their salesdrones last night regarding cable-modem service. It's (a) not QUITE available in my area yet ("around Thanksgiving", sez the drone) and (b) they're not quite sure what's going to happen when @Home folds. "They [Comcast] will either do it themselves, or find someone else to carry it. Yahoo, maybe."
Oddly, Earthlink's web page said "Sure, no problem" to DSL on my line, even though Verizon's said no way. This makes me wonder exactly what's going on here -- it's not as if Earthlink's people will be running their own fiberoptics to my apartment complex. (That, and I trust Earthlink as far as I can throw them.)
Looks like I wait, for now.
jeff. Ah, well... 56K isn't THAT terrible, compared to the ~30K max I had over the lines in my last abode.
