Re: The government is the freaking dragon.

Looks to me like a really bad choice. Do you trust the government or the telcos? Personally, I don't trust the telcos not to make it like 1995 again, with most everybody on dial-up and only a special few having T-1 service. That way they don't have to spend money upgrading equipment to 2015 and beyond standards.
Oak, I know you're suspicious of big government. Heck, I am too. But, if government hadn't broken up AT&T all those years ago--- if all you had was one big national company with its baby-bell satellite companies--- you would be doing good right now to have touch-tone service. AT&T has never been noted for being in a hurry to give customers the fastest speeds and the best service. Comcast is really bad too, though at least they do try to have faster speeds.
