100 a month?! Geez, everything just costs more in the States...water, 
electricity, gas, mobile plans...but hey, you guys don't get the blasted 
air one gets in Hong Kong. Coal power station in your backyard anyone?

24 mnth contract at 35 a month gives you a 100meg ethernet (not cable 
:P) plus high quality (their words) broadband tv with 20 channels.

I cannot think of a use for a gig connection...okay, be a local mirror 
for ubuntu...hmm, I guess I am happy with my 15 a month 10meg ethernet.

Ubuntu got through to Dell...maybe Ubuntu can get through to the FCC.
