There is a great page on encryption regulation, which currently hosts an electronic petition for the new encryption reform bill moving through congress at http://www.cdt.org/crypto/.
You guys really need to stop your griping. You only get what you pay for. Hell I have regular plain old 56k access with the earthlink network. My best connects are around 33000 never even close to 56k, and just barely 33.6 for that matter. I am lucky if I download at 2.5k/sec or upload at something like 1.2k. I pay 29.95 a month, I have both a 56k v90/flex modem in my powermac g3 400 and an x2/v.90 modem in the linux box. And they both connect at the same crappy speed, so its nothing like modem problems or anything. We just have piss poor telephone lines here, and I'll probably never ever ever get dsl or cable out here in the sticks of Spokane Washington. Your telling me you have a fsking problem with your 12k/sec uploads, and at least 20k+ downloads. When you pay forty bucks and I pay thirty, you get roughly 8x the performace, and I get shit, you have nothing to complain about. Feel my pain.
