When it happens it happens. Ameritech felt DSL was the superior technology. The good news is that a new owner might elect to add cable modem service. The bad news is no one seems to be stepping forward to make an offer. We have competition there.
Cable service is cable service.
End of personal observation. The Ameritech Central Office in Glen Ellyn is on Pennsylvania Avenue in the downtown business district, next to the Glen Ellyn Clinic. Each also offers links to their respective ISP resellers. If you're interested, contact me and I'll give you a few options as to how you can become involved.
