Curently, in South Florida, the fastest DSL I can get is 1Mb download for
about $100/month.   Cable is faster 1.5Mb (depending upon who else is on
the run) and cheaper (around $60, bundled with CATV).

Wait a minute ... isn't it COLD in Canada?

Sheesh, you almost had me goin' for a minute ....;-}

In most places in Canada, DSL goes for around $34.95 - $39.95 CDN/month. That's about $22.20 - $25.30/month U.S., for always-on, all-you-can-eat DSL. God, I love living in the most-wired province in Canada (Alberta)! As an added bonus, you can also set up a server on your DSL node. That's right, unlimited 2Mb/sec server access to the 'Net for around $25.00 U.S. per month. "Please sir, I want more!"

As for being cold, well, this weekend in Edmonton (less than 1,800 km from the Arctic Circle) it was sunny and +24 Celsius (about 75 degrees Fahrenheit) in my backyard. Barbecued all weekend. Oh yeah, almost forgot -- we never get hurricanes that can cause ten billion dollars worth of damage, either. 8^>
