  There are two services here... one is leased, the other is bundled
with the basic cable service. As of one minute ago my service is still
logging in saying "no additional monthly charge." The service is
"X*CHANGE" from X*PRESS.

  The data kit is available from X*PRESS, 1-800-7PC-NEWS outside
Colorado. I just fired up the modem to see if it was still up, and
that's what it told me.
