Re: DSL, Virginia, Norfolk, static IP address, servers OK

After going through Broadbandreports and other resource, I am a bit
frustated. I like to get DSL at home, with a static IP address, my own
registered host/domain name and being able to run any server for
non-commercial applications. I want to run my own HTTP and SMTP server,
of course, and other useful services without going through a caponized
service on an ISP server. Cox stricty says no, Verizon also says no. I
do not want to pay $250 for business DSL, besides that companies
offering such service tell me they can't to my phone number/address. I
live in the northern part of Norfolk, VA (USA), about 6km from the next
CO. ... <snip>

Here in Raleigh there are several resellers of Bellsouth based DSL which offer static IPs at a reasonable cost. I use Portbridge. But you have to have a phone line that support DSL via Verizon before you can get a 3rd party involved with spending BIG bucks. I'd look around some more. Or maybe even sign up for Verizon then if it works you can switch to someone else.

As to newsgroups access and whatnot, well if that's important, pay for a 3rd party.
