why in the world would anyone want to purchase dsl from a private
reseller when i can get 4mb down 384 up from comcast for $25?  think you
dsl resellers out there are doomed.  in fact, just a matter of time
before most of you isps are down the toilet.  im reminded of the mom and
pop grocery store phenomenon that has now been replaced by the kohls,
a&p, whole foods etc.  of course there will always be niche markets but
this is less applicable for a pure commodity like bandwidth.  yeah, i
suppose you'll say something about value added services and such and you
may have a point but i doubt that will keep the ship afloat for long.
