Cool deal. For some reason I can't load the hypernet info through the
links on the site, but the link you gave me worked. Too bad my upstream
speed didn't double as well. I'm sure my little webserver would've
enjoyed that! But I can't complain about a 1Mbit line for $50! :)
It's a shame that GCI doesn't have a cable on our side of the street at
my office. We are stuck with ACS - iirc counting web hosting and extra
e-mail addresses it's upwards of $100, and it's only 128K.. But we will
probably be switching to MTA soon - although that is still $110/month
for 512K, plus $75 for the DSL modem..
