Oh, hey. I should mention that you can get DSL from AT&T for $10/month! Cory Doctorow at BoingBoing says don't do it, but since I figure AT&T must lose money on this deal, I say sign up everyone you know!

People aren't willing to pay as much as for services a business where
the cost of the service if factored into making money. It's a common
form of price discrimination.
