Oh, I could get broadband from any number of different providers,
including Speakeasy ... if it wasn't that we're on a remote terminal
unit to which Verizon is under no legal obligation whatsoever to provide
access to third-party CLECs. We tried to re-establish my Speakeasy
service when we moved here. We couldn't; Verizon wouldn't let them.
