" What I hope is that they get it down to $20/month.

" I'm on dialup now because I can get it for that, and am not enough of a
" bandwidth hog to justify the $45/month it costs for a cable connection.

same here, though i can also get verizon's $30 dsl here.

" If I got rid of my land line I could do it, but I like having a
" land-line for emergencies.
" 
" I would also like the option of just buying a data pipe and IP address.
" I have no need for the other "services" of most package deals.

i'd like dns too, but that's all.  my present $20 dialup gives me
static ip, dns, and mailspool, and there's nothing more i want except
speed and always-on.
