[vox-tech] SURFboard SBG900 opinions

[Aaron Brayton]

Thanks.  DSL won't work for them (They can barely connect at 28.8kbs 
over their phone line.  They live too far away. (They live in a rural 
area of mendocino county outside of Fort Bragg. ) In fact, we thought 
satellite Internet was their only option for high speed until we 
stumbled across cable.  We thought they were too far out for cable also, 
but they must have upgraded their system.  Reading their local paper, 
there is a group studying options for public rural high speed interenet.
