[olug] Local internet access.

[David Loyall]

Hi, OLUG.

I'm looking for information about local ISPs.  I live in the dorms on
Offutt AFB.  Is Cox Cable my only option?  They seem really expensive,
and fairly stupid..  (There is some extra charge for 'home
networking'?  What the heck?)

Now, what if I get Qwest DSL with the BYO ISP option, and chose some
local ISP that will also do CO-LO for me.  ..Is there any such ISP? 
Does DSL suck around here?

Is there anything I should know, like does so-in-so ISP require me to
use PPPoE, or not offer reverse DNS, or not have full usenet spools,
or whatever?

=)
Thanks in advance for info and advice.
