[kwlug-disc] Cable internet providers

[unsolicited]

Quick boo at start ...

Did you see if you already have cable internet, the installation fee may 
be waived? i.e. No $50 install fee in your chart below?

For me, comparing apples to apples (unlimited), the tier you note would 
be $60 for me, +15 for unlimited. Good to know! Thanks.

Based on that, and prior comments on this stuff in the list, seems 
vmedia would still be the choice for me. Contrary comments welcome.

Note that it is/may be different for Khalid - I don't (currently?) 
stream, while he has multiple 'pesky teenagers' (?) who do stream, so 
his requirements are slightly different than mine.
