Yeah, but then your isp has to do something with your (28 * 24 * 60 *60 *
256 )/(8*1024) Mb of traffic = 37800Mb. For $29.95 . Granted you'll only use
a fraction of that, but still even that's going to cause a problem for an
isp trying to supply you with that much bandwidth for 29.95 .

Still, I agree that 128k doesn't really cut the mustard. I'd like to use the
current jetstream, but with local/national/international pricing scheme.
