You will NOT be looking for cable modem given those parameters :-)<br><br>I have similar needs and use Speakeasy. Excellent products and the service is stellar. They are highly recommended.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hey all,<br>
<br>
I'll use this message both as an introduction, and a chance to pose my<br>
first question.<br>
<br>
My name is Andrew Grieser and I will be moving to Atlanta for graduate<br>
school at the end of July. I currently live in Toledo, Ohio and am<br>
actively involved with the local Linux users group here (<a href="http://talug.org" target="_blank">talug.org</a>). I<br>
hope to get involved with the open source community in Atlanta, and<br>
look forward to meeting ALE members this fall.<br>
<br>
Now, onto my question: I'm looking for advice on choosing an ISP in<br>
Atlanta. In Toledo I use a local ISP that I have been very satisfied<br>
with. No traffic shaping, no port blocking, and they are easy to deal<br>
with. Because I've been spoiled, I am somewhat concerned about my<br>
choice for an ISP in Atlanta. So what are my options?<br>
<br>
I do have some specific requests. I use my old desktop as a server with<br>
ssh, a web-gui for revision control, and several other remote access<br>
programs. So I would prefer no blocked ports. I also want an ISP that<br>
doesn't interfere with my packets; in that if I want to download the<br>
latest distro releases, I want to be able to torrent them (and seed<br>
once I am finished). Finally, upload speed is important. I would prefer<br>
5Mbps up/down to 10Mbps down and 256kbps up.<br>
<br>
Essentially I just want a transparent ISP that simply connects me to<br>
the Internet. Does this exist? Advice and opinions are appreciated, as<br>
I am basically entering this blind. I will be located just north of<br>
Georgia Tech if that makes a difference.<br>
