[lug] Advice for a incoming Colorado newbie

[George Sexton]

I'll second the recommendation of FRII. If I were getting DSL put in,
they are the ones I would go with. I had them for 4 years, and have a
customer using them now. Except for a rough patch two summers ago when
they were moving I never had any problems. As Nate points out, their
technicians are pretty good.

For DSL and Cable both, ask for the current phone number of the house
when you 
get to a point where you've found something interesting enough to pursue
and 
then go put that phone number in the locators for both types of service
and 
see if they think you have service at that location.

I wholeheartedly recommend Front Range Internet (www.frii.net) if you go
with 
DSL.  Extremely clueful admins, and they're the best ISP I've ever seen
about 
outage notifications via e-mail... no other ISP I've ever had told me
about 
every single little network problem like these guys do, and I like the 
transparency very much.
