Are you looking specifically at ISP only, or TV service also?

ISPs I think they're all fairly similar, I've never had much problems with either cable or DSL. You can pretty much choose based on price IMO.

TV service is a diferent story. Didn't like Comcast, have been reasonably pleased with AT&T U-Verse so far. I imagine Verizon Fios would be good also.

I have at&t DSL and they use a 2Wire modem/router/gateway with wireless. Works great, been using it for years. Just depends on what's available and what you are willing to pay.

If the Verizon in that area is FiOS, that may be a good way to go. Good download and great upload speeds.

well i definitely don't recommend going with at&t they are crooks and liars(at least when i did business with them) but that point is moot now since they don't serve your area. I use Knology cable bundle for my internet and tv. I don't think they have made it out to teahas yet...

good luck with your shopping nuck!

I've heard nothing but good things about FIOS. I wish it was available in my area.
