[GLLUG] Lansing Network Map?

[Nicholas Kwiatkowski]

If you are concerned about getting ANY broadband, I would check out 
http://www.dslreports.com/. 

If you are looking for a great map of where the Central Offices are in your 
county (including street address), take a look at : 

http://www.dslreports.com/coinfo 

Hint: Closer you are to a CO, the faster/better access to DSL you will get. 

As far as cable modems go -- you just need to pick an area that is served by 
Comcast.  Comcast rarely goes into business parks, so you might need to 
contact them directly to find out if they are in any. (I know they have no 
service South of Dunkel, South of Jolly from College all the way to 
Aurelius, which is a large business area.) 

T1's are available in most of the tri-county area -- again check the coinfo 
site above. 

Hope that helps!
