My apartment complex just got Broadband Now. But I was finally able to
get DSL about 3 weeks before they launched, so I didn't try them. One
thing about BBNow, I don't know if they filter or how tightly they
monitor it, but they have a much higher rate service (Home
Office/Small Office), if you want to run servers of any kind. And
since I want to run a web server and an smtp server on my box, it
wasn't something I wanted to spend that much money on. I also got the
impression from the guy that I talked to that they weren't all that
Linux friendly. I'm glad I went with DSL/august.net.
