Crap! I wish I lived there. We're paying 49.95 per month for 256K wireless! And that's the fastest thing avaliable here. Oh well, at least it's better than dialup

okay so what in the heck do I need that much speed for, checking my email. Do they honestly belief that a large portion of the people interested in their service don't have plans to run something along these lines.

From the other post, it's hard to understand what they mean.

Do they mean you can't run a commercial server of type types you listed, or your can't do anything commercial and you can't even run a non-commercial server of the type listed?

Enjoy it while you can... It looks like WINFirst is in a bit of trouble... Picture Fuzzy for New Cable System - from today's Seattle Times.
