RE: [Plug] DSL providers -Reply


I'm usually just a quiet observer of the list, but I have a suggestion.  The
raging debate over group fractures might be more easily dealt with if the
Mother Ship held its meeting in Center City on its usual date, allowing
those who wish to trek to appear, and then the satellites could crop up in
their different quadrants on different dates.  This would allow the
flexibility of the primary topical discussions to flourish in the presence of
a greater mindshare, while permitting that knowledge to be seeded at
other times of the month to those who simply can't or won't travel to CC,
carried by those who were able to attend the main meeting.

I was sitting here thinking about all this.  Even if we decide to branch
out, and we would still be a child of PLUG, we could communnicate over
email
what the topic will be.  So that for the most part we are all on the same
topic, and not running scattered.  I look at it like this.  You have a
University/Collge.  Their main campus is in Philadelphia.  Now lets say for
example, that people in another part of the city want to go there, but they
do nat have the time or resources to go.  So the college/Univ.  opens a
campus here and there.  Does this mean because people are going to the
offsite building, and not the onsite campus, does it mean death for the
college?  NO!!!  Does it mean that one area is better than another?  NO!!!
IS it healthy for the College/Univ.?  YES!!!  Don't you see, it is not a
breakdown, but a build up.  There will be more people, the group will
grow
even faster than your expectations.  There are a lot of people who
refuse to
go to the city.  Should that mean that they shouldn't be in the group?
NO!!!  If people want to go to a meeting in their area, and will go why not
support them.

Hi!

Does anyone have a recommendation on local DSL providers? I'm about
to
set up a web server here in my Phila. office, and I have quotes from
several providers. It would be nice to know any horror stories regarding
service, downtime, etc., as well as praise for good service.

Thanks,
--Hugh
