The cable companies are working on the static IP part of the business. The problem is, they're still building their network. When it's all said and done, 2002 - 2003-ish, they'll have a better network than the telco's, to a certain extent. As of now, there is no other option than xDSL, ISDN, or one of the big boys (T1, etc) Hope this helps, Eric On Wed, 20 Dec 2000, you wrote: > Well, those dip-shits at qwaste have screwed me once again. > I moved to a different apartment within the same building > and they are claiming that there is too much noise on my > line now (whatever) and refuse to continue to give me service > even though I've been paying them $100/month (which they > dont seem to care about) for over 2 years (do the math). > > I live in Eden Prairie, does anyone know what other services > are available in my area?
