[Jason Porter] I have been a long time fan of Xmission here in Utah, but
I had Speakeasy before, then left on an LDS mission and my folks went
with Xmission (of course I did all of the foot work before I left).  I
*love* Speakeasy.  They would be my first choice hands down.  They also
have a bundled VOIP service (3 megabit and VOIP is like $88 a month, or
somewhere around there) and some really good bundled software and
services.  We moved to West Jordan a couple of months ago and Speakeasy
wasn't available (There aren't any physical telco buildings servicing
the city /me kicks Qwest again).  If it's possible to go with Speakeasy
I would recommend them.

[Jason Porter] Not sure on this, you maybe be able to find some on Ebay
or something that would work.  I bought the Actiontec GT704-WG (wireless
and 4-port router) at CompUSA, I've been happy with it, maybe not as
configurable as a stand alone router, but it works pretty well.
