[TriLUG] broadband in the Triangle area

[Joseph Tate]

Take a trip to dslreports.com, then come back and ask the questions you 
couldn't find out for yourself.

My advice given the undetermined amount of time you will be in the area 
is Cable (Since DSL requires a year contract).  Modems (whether DSL or 
Cable) are provided by the carriers in this area, and some don't even 
allow you to connect your own equipment to the lines.  (If anyone wants 
a spare DSL modem, I've got one (the old Fujitsu)).  You may find 
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/DSL-HOWTO/index.html useful.  Time Warner's 
setup is trivial, and if you have cable already, you can pick up a 
self-installation kit at any of their mall kiosks.
