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.
