Yes, I apologize that this is probably not a topic to be on the list. I selfishly wanted a quick appraisal of the local offerings from some knowledgeable folks. Problem is of course any kind of tally sheet will quickly run out of date. Anyway, I chugged through most of the qworst isp list, (tech support said it was not possible to actually provide a list of DSL ISP providers in the Eugene LATA.) I'll post my little summary chart providers & price info in the next couple days if it's of any help.
Thanks for the many responses. Now if I could only get credit for a full year's work for only showing up 6 days.... I guess that's what makes presidential material eh?
