Who thinks the early posting of the Jetstart WEB site was intentional? Just
to see what sort of feed back places like this forum would give them.
Personally, 128K is not "broadband." IMO. What's the big deal in offering
anything higher? At least get with the G.lite standard and offer 1.5Mbit,
flat rate for $60. That would certainly put the shits in the competitor?

I think the Cable providers will be laughing, as their capped rate plans
are 512K + unlimited, bla bla...

We can only wait and see..

Most correct in the case of Dslam, it is still ADSL but at a capped rate.

Also JS has only been out a year so any new plans would be most welcomed by
most. When there is only one company rolling a product out price reductions
etc will be slow.

128k is obviously a good start, with luck other variations will follow
