[Cialug] Question about going broadband in Des Moines...

[Renegade Muskrat]

I've also been a user of Freese Notis with Qwest providing the signal. 
I've been using them for about 5 years without a problem. One thing i 
like about Freese Notis is that they provide a static IP and don't care 
if you run servers. At the time i started with Freese Notis there 
weren't many other Linux friendly ISPs that i was aware of; i think 
today there is more variety (some of which may be cheaper... Freese 
Notis charges me $25/month).
