My friend was in the same situation and that was also the best he could do.
If there weren't so many trees in this area I'd suggest we try to get a
wireless net up and working in the area.
We considered it when I was living in Haslett, but our apartment complexes
didn't like the idea of us having dishes on the roof.

am leaving behind my awesome cable modem. (old AT&T/TCI MET service.
5-10MBps down 3-5 up no shit) So my new apartment is one of those shitty
ones that has their own cable system (ECI) and their best cable modem is
512/768 down and 256 up plus a 18GB per month bandwidth cap. SUCK! So the
only other alternative is ACD.net's DSL I suppose. 960k both directions or
768 at the min with my distance from CO. So I guess I'm hoping that someone
else can tell me of some wonderful service that is available short of me
doing some nighttime fibre extension from campus. :)
