FYI, he meant $100, not $4100 (lack of a shift key on the 4).  They 
basically let you pay for equipment over time at a total of ~$100 
extra.  High interest rate, but easier to swallow for many.

I almost got Direcway but the latency was ~1.3s for non-cached stuff.  
That would make my head explode for ssh.  Instead I got together with 
my neighbors and build a wireless network which runs on some private 
VDSL, bounces over a hill and down to a swamp to land at a cable modem. 
  This turned out to be ALOT more work than I expected, but it lets me 
work at home.

Plus the local Direcway licensees were scum, trying to get extra 
"travel fees" out of me and completely unwilling to do any work 
themselves ("why don't you find a local installer and have him call me, 
then I'll get him to do it for you").
