i'm moving to evanston, illinois in july and i already have 6mbps down/768kbps up dry loop dsl lined up for $30/month with AT&T. granted this isn't even in the same state. i'm feeling that plans like this are bound to start sprouting up all over the place in the next few years.<br>

I guess this is one one of the advantages of living in a densely<br>
populated urban area. My guess is that I'll never have a 7mb dsl option<br>
out here.<br>
