Don't you think that AT&T would tell Gargoyle to take a hike. It is AT&T equipment, that AT& bought, installed, services and pays property tax on. I agree that better bandwidth would be nicer but for what? Downloading a movie @ 2 gigs in size? Sometimes my bittorrents come screaming in these days. +1M/sec is what I have seen when a lot of seeders are out there. I am pulling down 800 meg to 1.2 gig concerts. I would like to see Gargoyle do more things to benefit the poor instead of just suck up to those of us with $$$$. Where you live you may see a lot more of their name in a giving environment but not from my vantage point. If they were to follow in the footsteps of Gates and Buffet and start to take care of others I would have a better opinion of them. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer CIMSgts 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/c4313dbe1002111242m5c3158c6hacf96d3d544d9...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
