[lug] Wireless/Broadband services, and the death of JATO

[Jeremy J Hinegardner]

Hi all,

I'm not sure where everyone else is getting shut off by JATO but
my SDSL service is still up and running.  Also, for those wondering
about service in Boulder, I live off Arapahoe and Foothills and
have had service since October.

enjoy,

-jeremy
