[ale] Screwed by PPP0E

[hackboy at hackersforhire.com (hackboy at hackersforhire.com)]

One thing to keep in mind is that Speakeasy does not offer the same
services in all of the areas that BellSouth, SpeedFactory, Earthlink, and
other BellSouth partner ISPs do.

I am on a remote terminal on the Roswell CO.  With BellSouth,
SpeedFactory, and Earthlink I am able to get the 3 meg package.  With
Speakeasy the most that I qualify for is IDSL (128x128).
