    So I took the plunge...

    I just ordered 764K DSL from Verizon. Supposedly, my service will be ready beginning 2/24. I made an annual commitment (with a 30-day window to cancel if the quality is crap). I'd said I'd do it if the price range fell into the $30-40 monthly range, and an annual commitment gets me a $39.99 rate. I'm going to cancel my Starz package on the satellite to save me another $12, and cancelling my CallWave (internet answering machine) and the required busy call forwarding will save me another $4 a month or so. Net result: I get DSL for about a $25 monthly increase in expenses. Look for me soon on a Road to Rome server with more than five people near you!

    Maybe he's talking about the kind you can find readily available at you local strip joint. In The Albany area DiCarlo's is a nice place to go to "get up at the crack of Dawn"
