                            Connectivity Blues III

It's depressing. The more Mark [1] and I look into DSL (Digital Subscriber
Line) and/or ISDB (Integrated Services Digital Network) providers, the worse
it looks. I started looking for companies that service the 954 [2] and 561
[3] area codes, but most of them seem to be large companies with entrenched
bureaucracies that charge exhorbatent fees [4] for anything out of the
ordinary, or virtual ISPs which don't exactly exist anywhere but are run by a
guy out of a closet in Saranac, Michigan.

I did find one company that seemed promising, Flips.Net, [5] out of West Palm
Beach, Florida. I called, but had to leave a voice mail message. I even
filled out the web form for DSL and have yet to hear back from them.
