I think they'll still have to pay for access, just like you. The bucks go to build infrastructure where none exists. This is like the Post Office's RFD....the farm folks still have to pay postage.

I know you get that speed for about $20 a month, don't ya?

When we first got DSL, it was fast as lightening. Then AT&T added a faster level, above what I was paying for. My connection speed just crawled for a month or two, until I upgraded. Several months later, they again added a level above the one I was paying for, and my connection speed again crawled. Isn't that a coincidince? I didn't bite that time.
