Problem is, longmont is in the shadow of a hill. Latency on the system is
almost as bad as satellite-based services.

At this point I can't even get Qwest DSL in longmont, despite my wires to
the CO being less than a mile long. Mainly because they've pairgained the
hell out of the CO there.

CLECs? what CLECs? THey all went bankrupt. The telecom act of 1996 is a
joke. It hasn't done a damned thing to help competition.
