i wish i could have quest over here ..... basicly we have just mediacom or
SBC
although mediacom is good i downloaded Ubuntu 7.10 last night in 5 mins
about 10 mins for the amd64 and the x86 versions, i believe they offer a
static ip package basicaly was getting 943KB/s or 7.544mb/s

quest is nice , i believe there wifi routers actually run linux but if you
need alot of firewalling and port forwarding its best to bridge to your own
box. they offer a nice package at the same rate as mediacom but you get a
static ip about 1mb up and 6-7mb down. ( is there someone in IL that offers
this package ..... /cry )
