I thought there were a lot more than 4 providers on Utopia already...

I believe mstar also (optionally?) filters your internet content. Some 
might consider that a pro, others might consider it a con.

XMission is in the middle of getting VOIP service set up, from what I 
understand it will be offered within 2007. Their quality of service (both 
the technical side and the customer service and support side) is the 
number one thing that keeps me going back for more. You won't find a more 
knowledgeable and capable support staff anywhere else, at least not the 
people they'll actually let you talk to. XM's top people are extremely 
accessible (and I mean all of them, including Pete himself who I see 
helping customers not infrequently). Where else can you get tech support 
via IRC? :)

P.S. That was not a paid advertisement, I get no benefit from promoting 
XMission, I'm just a fan of their service. But you can tell them that Code 
Greene sent you, if you want.
