	I had it connected Sunday.  Newer developments are FTTP (Fiber To
The Premise) but I had to settle for FTTN (Fiber To The Node, the CO) and
then copper for the last mile.  Either way, no real benefit right now, as
AT&T doesn't want to confuse their product offering.  They're focusing on
IPTV more than their Internet service.

	I like WOW but they don't offer enough bandwidth.

	Speakeasy speedtest is getting just around 9.8Mb down and 1.4Mb up.

	It's fast.  I like it so far.  Still not fast enough and the
upstream's too small.

	Only faster residential offering is TW with "RR Tubo."  It includes
15Mb down and 768Kb up.  Were it not for the upstream being so small, I
would probably have it.

	I'll probably cancel WOW in a few days.  I hope other companies can
compete soon, as I'd rather not use AT&T.
