Linux and High speed accessability

[Michael]

Hello list:

Now that high speed internet access is available in my area,  does the
provider have to support Linux and is there away around that.
I spoke to two providers and they're are not going to support Linux in the
fore seeable future.
Granted, the two people I spoke to were not and I say again, were not OS
savvyy. LOL <grin>
Best regards:

Michael
