Lemme guess?  Longmont?

I've got the same problem!  Actually, if the Sprint Broadband is that ION 
thingy they are advertising; last I checked, they said I couldn't get it, 
period!

Hey, the Qwest tech I spoke to (had a slight problem with my "computer" 
line; my modem wouldn't connect at all) suggested I get ISDN.  When I asked 
if the $ rates were the same or lower than DSL, he just stammered, and 
said, "You'll have to ask someone from the marketing area."

Jerks!  Sorry for my $0.02, but I just found out that a friend of mine just 
got Sprint Broadband, and wants me to join him on-line for a night of Quake 
2.  NOT!
