Re: [P1] sbc yahoo dsl I think *all* of you should be asking for (or demanding) a lower rate. I just came back from a trip to the US and was shocked to hear of the rates being paid by my old friends. I'm currently living in Japan where everything is expensive, but only pay approx. $28 for an 8Mb ADSL connection (and that's converting at this current low value of the dollar). One couple said they had no option as there were regional monopolies by cable companies. Just thought I'd chime in to give you a perspective on the rates you're being charged.
