Cox Communications has fully on-shore support. Here in SD they are
actually LOCAL.


In Verizon land, residential customers do not have
CLEC voice or DSL alternatives. We do not have Cox.
Our area is served by Charter Communications who has
the broadband cable monopoly. Verizon has the fiber
monopoly with their FIOS. AT&T fiber is not possible
in Verizon land. Nobody competes against Verizon for
residential service in Southern California.

Sir, both COVAD and DSLExtreme beg to differ. Seriously. I just checked.
