[Hidden-tech] Helping others without broadband

[Seth Seeger]

There are some who actively allow this kind of behavior!

I'm sure there are more (maybe even some of the local ISPs?), but this 
is the only one I know of off the top of my head.  (Yes, I know that 
this still falls into the category of not-available-in-the-boonies, but 
it's nice to know there are "reasonable" ISPs out there.  However, I 
did just chat with a salesperson at SpeakEasy, and they said a T1 is 
sometimes available where DSL is not.)
