Broadband Internet Service Providers

How do I find a service provider?
First, you want to start with your local phone and cable companies to see if they offer service.  Most companies will offer you a 6 to 12 month promotional price and contract.  If you cancel service early for reasons other than moving to an area without coverage, then you will typically be charged a $70 to $150 cancellation fee.  Once your contact is up, most companies will allow you to renegotiate your price to the lowest price that is offered at that time.  Here is a small list of those providers with special offers:
