[Eug-lug] 20Mbps DSL? It could come to you.

Whatever happened to our Eugene free-wifi mesh?  ;)

 I've been thinking of how to do something like that out here in the boonies. I think it would be a cool deal considering the other options.

The astounding thing to me is how many of my friends willingly throw 
bomcast over a hundred bux a month and still put up with throttled 
service.?
?

A public so willing to be ripped off this way is worse than lambs to the 
slaughter.?

It's the essence of the expression "disposable capital"--and it's why 
bomcast must laugh all the way to the bank.?

Where's the Cliff Cox of the 21st century?  As mentioned earlier in this 
thread, I think there's a rural (Blachly anyway) isp that's cheaper and 
faster than bomcast; some kind of NW Lane co-op.?

As if their monopoly tactics weren't bad enough the bomcast ceo looks 
like a shaved buffalo and routinely gives dubya 100's of thousands.?
