Okay, now you've wet my appetite.  I looked at their deals and the
"Gamer" was only $149 for a 768Kbps (both ways) connection, $10 more for
4 static IPs.  "Pro" 1.1Mbps was $199.

Too bad they are not available in my area (Orlando, FL).  Anyone else
know of anyone with such services available in Orlando, FL?  Thanx in
advance ...
