No, but this is a satellite-TV Co. (which recently merged with Dish Network, or

so I'm told), so I'm wondering if their DSL comes via the satellite dish they
put
in, or if they use the phone lines.

Don't really know, but I saw some ratings somewhere recently (of them re
delivery
of TV programming), and it was on the mediocre side -- not much different from
a lot of the cable-TV Co.s we tend to gripe about.
