Internet connection that downloads at up to 3000 kbps. If this happens, you will find that the Internet will run faster at non-peak times. However, my client has had some reliability problems. This also has limited availability , although I think it is more available than cable. With some providers, you may even be able to run your very own web server through this connection, although the 256 kbps connection would only support a few people simultaneously before it starts to be slow.
Higher speeds are available for higher cost.
Even if USWest says DSL is not available in your area, you should try calling Flashcom. I have recently signed up for DSL through Flashcom. The 2 year contract is very restrictive, and basically, there is no way out of the contract, so you should be absolutely certain that you want this. I especially don't like a 2-year contract in the computer industry, because 1 year from now there will probably be a faster option for the same price, and I may be stuck at 384k. You are not connected 24 hours a day.
