Yes, it is the only realistic option I have. Not uncommon in the USA as
far as I know. Cable/broadband companies often have their "territory"
and they are the only provider in that area.

I like playing with lots of things, but that doesn`t interest me in the
slightest.

Well, that may be your opinion. It serves purposes for me. I enjoy the
configuration of FTN software, updating/customizing the BBS, and reading
echomail traffic. I mean, we are having this very conversation on
FidoNet, aren`t we?

Not really, it`s quite different from most as far as I can see. I mean,
what "real purpose" does it serve? Just a way for folks to congratulate
each other on having an IPv6 address? LOL Very silly.
