If you moved to be within zero-mile range for a T1, that would be pretty
noteworthy. Distance was the only reason I didn't have a T1 to my
apartment in '95... worked for an ISP who would give me clear channel T1
for $300/mo plus loop, and I lived on the wrong side of Ditch Rd in
Indianapolis to be on the same CO as the ISP. :)
More recently, I bought the wireless thingie for my Palm Vx so I could do
DSL checks when I was looking for an apartment/house. Now I'm pondering
moving near a CO for zero-mile bennies.
