[CLUE-Tech] DSL recommendations?

[Crawford Rainwater]

Colorado DSL is a good re-seller of DSL services.
(303) 432-7777 is their number.  Ask for Tom there.
Also, just because Qwest says they can or cannot
get service to you does not mean you cannot get DSL
services.  Example: There are a few areas of Boulder
that physically can have it that Qwest lets Covalent
(SP?) cover.  CO DSL is able to see who can cover you
in your particular area once you talk to them.

For ISP's, American ISP is pretty okay and local to
Denver (a few ITEC folks use them).

As for how to research them, I second DSL Reports
online.  They are pretty good on giving the skimmy
on the different groups out there for high speed
connections.

Just my $0.02.
