well, csdoom is back up, and that seems to be running better than zdaemon, for me at least. Doom Connecter, which supports zdoom, csdoom, and doom legacy, is also around, but it's slower, and laggier.
i recently discovered all of these, so I've been playing the field, so to speak.
There's a wireless ISP in my area that offers apparently good service, at prices roughly the same as cable; thing is, on their website, they mention initial fixed equipment costs at $500-1000. If it weren't for the high initial cost, I'd switch in a heartbeat.
the local ISP here had the same problem, but they've since dropped the installation costs to about the same as cable. I'd love to see them blow the cable ISP (mediacom, with the good old AT&T backbone) out of the water. There's no DSL in this town.
Unfortunately, they don't market their product, really at all, and they make their real cash off the dialup accounts.
one way to make it successful would be to really make it local--use text ads intead, with more focused content. more community involvement. we've seen it work on the internet, so why not with this?
