As part of moving Geekaustin from Slashcode to Wordpress last weekend, I was reviewing the most popular posts over the last 7 years. I discovered that the most popular posts were from people trying to get advice about connectivity — who was good, who was bad, how much SBC sucked, how bad texas.net sucked, etc. Some of the events we witnessed were the buyout and subsequent closure of Jump.net, and the discontinuation of most independent ISDN and DSL offerings in town — like those from Realtime Communications, Illuminati Online, Texas.net, Eden.net, Constant.com. We’re really down to a few choices. Even Speakeasy was bought by Best Buy.
