What market did you have 1.5mbit dsl in, in 1999? GTE in LA county offered 768k/768k symmetric. In 1999. I can't remember when that was increased, but it was after GTE got bought out.

  Calgary. I remember it being asymmetric, probably 256 or 512 up.

    Cadvision? 3mbps cable (sadly Rogers) wasn't impossible at the time.
