[DM-MUG] DSL ISP

[Ray Bowler]

I also had Earthlink for my dial-up and their service was good. I 
went to Mediacom because they were the only broadband available. 
Their price has not increased in the years that I have had it so I am 
pleased with that. They recently doubled the speed with no change of 
price. I think either choice would be good.
