Link from Ballard to Shoreline?

[Patrick]

Another option would be to get some 'dry copper'  from the phone company to
connect your two end points.  This is very similar to what they provide for
home security ciruits a dedicated phone line that connects you to the
security company.  It takes alot of talking from what I understand to get
the phone company to understand what your asking for unless you get lucky.
But its doable.  Once you have that you can set up your own endpoint devices
and get up to 10Mbps depending on the hardware you use.  And its relativly
cheap since once the endpoint devices are paid for your reoccuring cost is
only electricity and the relatively cheap price of the dedicated phone line.
