Broadband Internet Crisis Averted

Earlier this week I mentioned that we won't be able to get either DSL or cable internet at our new house. Just a few days after throwing me into a tizzy about how we'll feed our broadband addiction, however, BellSouth has seemingly come to our rescue... Even though they had told us (both online and over the phone) that we will be unable to get DSL at our house, we received an e-mail a few days later confirming our request to move our phone service and stating that they expect to activate DSL service at our house in early July. I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm not complaining. My best guess is that we're the first on the street to request DSL, and that was enough to get them to make it available. Regardless, we'll just need to make it through the month of June with dialup, and then we'll have be home free.
