If you can get DSL, I recommend Netflix. $10/month or so, free downloadable movies and 1 movie at a time via the mail.
OK gang, Thanks to all of you! I think I might go talk to the local store in person and see what they have to say. I can’t deal with ANY service interruptions and so forth and I have to say that the Comcast service her in NE IL has been very reliable and stable!
