here. I consult with small businesses in windows (strike one) though and
have looked at the cable/DSL options in Durham and Chapel Hill quite a
bit. I'm a fan of static IPs so usually go with DSL, it makes it easier to
tunnel to a client site. In Durham Verizon's ok, but I really like
britsys.com. For $0.05 more than verizon I got a static IP. Also,
when I noticed my DSL router go live I gave them a call and they added me to the
routing tables. I was up 4-5 days before they said I would be.
They've a very tech friendly support group and their rates are
reasonable. They also charge the same for residential and business, a big
plus.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=423522617-30092002>I have noticed a few
oddities with TWC (Time warner Cable) in this area. It doesn't seem to be
real consistent. Sometimes the connections are great and other times they
are molasses. I seem to get more consistent service from
DSL.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

I've ad some bad experiences with BTI recently. They did exactly the
opposite of what they were told at a client site. Great rates, but lousy
listeners.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
