Any thoughts about Skype?

See? All the more reason to support Skype. I am pro innovation of this stripe, especially if it undermines companies like verizon.

I had verizon dsl for a while and it was more expensive than cable for comparable speed. It was problem prone, verizon customer service was the worst I've ever encountered, and after several hours of speaking with half a dozen minions from all over the world, I finally got them to send a lineman out who told me that they never installed the gazinta into my box, AND because of the way the lines ran to my house, I would never achieve the stated speed, it wasn't possible, he said. And he was right. He tweaked a few things and re-routed my lines somewhat to shave several miles off the trip and it bumped up my speed by a few hundred k.

We are really in East Cornflake out here. IF they are on a 4 year FIOS for All plan, then we'll have it 4 years and a week later.
