Rolling DSL and Wireless Access Out In One Swoop

Rumours have it that every home that installs gets a wireless router and an antenna on the roof - effectively expanding Vista's wireless network at the same time. If enough people sign up, this would allow seamless wireless coverage for the whole area *at a profit* to Vista."

    you just showed how ignorant you are. dsl and cable are both shared. do you think if you get dsl you are really getting a dedicated line to the backbone of the internet or something? fuck no. not unless you're paying about $1000 a month for it. once it gets to the teleco its all shared in one pipe to the backbone, just like cable. this old bullshit about cable being shared and dsl not is so stupid, and people that believe it are even stupider
