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.
