Is this list high volume

[Leon Goldstein]

Hi Lonni:  The only broadband available to me is Time-Warner broadband.  
The city fathers have granted them a monopoly.  T-W service is, well, 
read Consumer Reports.  I disconnected from their TV cable after they 
foisted their "digital converter" thing last summer and put up an 
antenna.  More channels, no monthly fee.

Maybe the phone lines will be upgraded to DSL after a hurricane blows 
everything down. :-(

In any event, dial-up is working well enough for me.  It's trying to get 
the laptop to work with a wireless printer that is the problem.
