You'll probably hear a lot of bickering about this one, but I use Qwest as my ISP. Not the MSN crap they offer, but their Qwest Internet Basic. I pay roughly $65/month for DSL (4,500 down/738 up), with a block of static IP's. I only get internet connection, no e-mail, website, or anything from them. Rough break down of pricing: $38/line $15/static ip's $10 for ISP This also includes a dial-up number for remote travel. Aside from the issue of trying to switch my DSL from my second line to the first and keep all account info and ip's, I haven't really had a problem with them. -- -Shawn -Nemo me impune lacessit.
