[kwlug-disc] Cable internet providers

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

The horror stories I read about VMedia are for one of two reasons:

- Botched installation (two techs from two companies need to be present,
and one  does not show up, another appointment set up ...etc. then it
happens again).

- IPTV does not perform well (lag, pixellation, ...). Which is not
something I am considering so not an issue for me.

Other than that, people seem happy with them.
