Weirs guy,

If you are thinking of putting in a phone line check out VERIZON DSL capability. If the area you are in has it you may save a lot of money over time that may offset the cost of the phone installation. They have two low cost packages available, first is 3mbp at 768k for $24.00 a month + a 1 year contract, and second is 786mbp at 128k for $14.00 a month a 1 year contract.

If you lean towards Metro Cast you will probable be paying at least $50.00 for the 768k service. When you talk to the customer service rep ask if they have a slower speed service available, say 256k. It could be half the price of the 768k service.

I am in Moultonboro and where we are there is no DSL available yet. I went with Adelphia. They have a 256k service that they do not advertise for $24.00 a month. You have to know about it and ask for it. I found out about it from a VERIZON repair Tech. I work form home two days a week. I started up with a dialup service at first but it was taking some 20 minutes to download a 4meg file. I found the 256k service quite satisfactory, it would download that same file in under 2 and a half minutes.
