Re: back from Jesse's

I'd go the Verizon route but it would cost me $30/month for both locations.
Dial-up lets me dial up from anywhere.  Verizon allows service to one
location for that price.  that's why I quit comcast.  It was only $27/month,
but only just from home.  I need it at work so I don't go crazy.
