Nice, high quality DSL would be nice, but Marshalltown has this ancient copper plant... :-)

Mediacom is also great at massively raising your rates at a later date,
and gradually slowing your service rate as more people hop on in your
local area.  That's why I went with DSL.

Rumor has it that there is some nicely affordable, dedicated, and
stable DSL through a member of the LUG.  ;)

So I'm looking to set up service and had planned to go with Mediacom as
I've
seen several ads for a 12 month special for Internet access for $20. 
But
apparently there's some fine print in the commercial that the deal is
only
available as an upgrade when you already have cable TV.  Best they can
do is
a slower service for $40 for 6 months.

So now I'm shopping.

Any suggestions for decent internet service (and just internet
service)?  I
don't plan on getting a land phone line or cable TV.

Thanks,
Brandon
