[brlug-general] BR ISPs

[Edmund Cramp]

Good point - but that really depends on where you're located.  We went for a good power source (first drop off a sub-station - in Millerville, on Old Hammond) but it's out of downtown Baton Rouge so our options were limited at the time.

I probably ought to revisit our options but Cox haven't pissed me off recently so it's a low priority at the moment.  Anyone moving here should consider what their options are at different locations - what's available in one place may not be available in another.
