I think that you really need to consider the international communist
conspiracy to sap and impurify our precious bodily fluids here. You
pinko DSL users are actually using DSL over ATM. As you know, ATM was
a plot by the evil United Nations CCITT to fragment and break up the
world of data communications by subdividing everything into 53-octet
frames. (Even such patriotic and pure companies as IBM were caught up
in this facade, viz a via their ill-fated "ATM to the Desk" strategy.)
A true, pure, red-blooded American would be receiving his gun-toting
Internet service using Ethernet, standardized by the US-based IEEE, not
ATM, which was standardized by some French-speaking,
Geneva-headquartered, Eurotrash standards organization like the CCITT.
So when Comcast says "one-hundred percent pure," I think you now know
what they're talking about. And don't let the liberal left-leaning
media tell you otherwise.
