As for what US West tends to do with the bandwidth, they have an unregulated division called !nteract that will take care of that part. It is my understanding that !nteract will advertise directly following US West commercials, but US West must still give you the choice of your IP provider when you order it from them. Here's the kicker...!nteracts price is just $20/month. Since you a) can't colocate gear in a US West CO b) can't get the raw copper from US West, and in some states, not even if you are a CLEC (like arizona, thanks to our lovely state congress) c) can't cost justify it even if you could do above you may as well buy their service.
Precisely the position they want us in. I hate to say it this baldly, Dave, but is the check in the mail?
I also hear rumblings that the current pricing is considered "promotional" and may change soon.
Yeah, once everyone's hooked. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R. Ashworth jra () baylink com Member of the Technical Staff Unsolicited Commercial Emailers Sued The Suncoast Freenet "Two words: Darth Doogie." -- Jason Colby, Tampa Bay, Florida on alt.fan.heinlein +1 813 790 7592
