[opensource] Local ISPs

[Daniel Murry]

I'm a huge fan of WOW, at least compared to Time Warner.

I had them for 3-4 years when I lived in Columbus.  I did notice that their
dns servers would become painfully slow at times...  You do have to be
careful and make sure you order the correct speed package, because they have
a really cheap one they advertise all the time that is only like 115 kbps
down.  I think I paid $74 month for basic analog cable with a box (the box
has a crude guide system, but it worked) and the 4mbps internet.  You can
haggle with them a bit to get the price down using Time Warner as a
reference/threat.

I also had Time Warner for a year and I battled with disconnect issues the
whole time.  I'd rather stay connected all the time than worry about up/down
speed issues.
