Yeah, the towns to the north, south, and east of me (Doylestown, 
Warminster, and Horsham, respectively) all have covad access, but not my 
CO.  I'd love to have speakeasy.

DSLReports says that there should be many providers for me, but they 
have all said that they either don't offer static ip's or don't serve my 
area upon calling them.

I hadn't tried voicenet though, so I just sent in a call to them.  Does 
anyone else find it funny that their little demonstration graphic on

http://www.voicenet.com/speedline.html

is a little indecisive?  The middle graphic changes from five seconds to 
three seconds in the last frame.  Apparently, they can't make up their 
mind how fast it is...

we'll see.
