well I finally got dsl in foothills of Yosemite, after suffering with Dwy/hughes for 5 years, I finally have speeds about equal to when I first got cable modem back when it was called @home (that was about 1998 - I think it was the internet Al Gore invented - lmao)

not near as fast as modern dsl, but it tales a dump on hughesnet less then half the price...

funny how theres no TDS poss in the last 2 years, I guess thats a good thing...
