Some More Balance (Score 1)

Up here near Boston, MediaOne does a rather good job with their cable modems. We had one last summer and the only problem we had was a DOS attack (damned skript kiddies). The guy who installed it was knowlegeful and on time, so the install went without a hitch.
The price for a cable modem is $50/months, same to install (unless you already have cable, in which case its free), and you can get cable as well (no need, MediaOne seems to grok cable modem sans cable TV) for an additional $10 a months, making it $60 for the whole thing. That's rather good pricewise, and the connection to campus was faster than the connection on campus (i.e. from one machine to another on campus).
We plan to get a cabel modem this summer as well (again, need to install it, but there's cable already so no problem, and the landlords like having a cable modem port, its ups house value ;P). This year we're determining the possibility of doing a LAN, since we're living with 3 other computers/people (yea, I know, obe machine per person, how minimalist ;P).

Apologies for the rambling, but MediaOne in Boston is good schtuff and I don't want it getting a bad rep from other areas (the only issue is you need a mac/win box to get it installed, but then you boot into linux and you're fine).
