ISP Information:
This refers to things that happen at the same time. More commonly, it is used in electronics to signify something occurring at the set pace of a clock, much like a metronome. It also can indicate that a DSL connection has the same upload and download speed.

Synchronous - In Joey Lindstrom writes: That said, Bell Expressvu (the Canadian satellite service to which I subscribe) has a decent compromise. You start with "the locals" (all the local channels everywhere in Canada, which is cool for time-shifting purposes), then they offer not 1, not 2, not 3, but TWELVE "tiers" of channels. You can buy each tier for something like $6.95 per month, or you can have any seven for $40.99 per month. They also have discount pricing for nine tiers and twelve tiers, I think. Then, beyond that, they've got your "specialty" channels (Playboy, Movie Network, and so on) that you pay extra for IF you want them.I'm aware of a grey market, so to speak, with Canadians using illegal(to them) US based satellite networks/dishes such as Direct-TV andDISH.Based on your description above, it sounds like it's time for a reversemove.danny " now watch the spammers start...
