[olug] Recommendations for Lincoln NE

[Sam Tetherow]

Futuretk has qwest, windstream and unite for upstream if I remember 
correctly (I know they have atleast to seperate fiber runs to different 
providers).  As for reliability of wireless, it isn't a medium issue as 
much as a company issue.  I know people that have constant problems with 
their DSL and cable as well and I have businesses on wireless whose only 
reliability issue is power.
