i wish i could have quest over here ..... basicly we have just mediacom or SBC <br>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 <br><br>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 )
