OK, so I'm down to the 2 choices:

1. DCANet:
  - must have Verizon Phoneline ($40 install + $12/month) (~1 week)
  - $99 install fee
  - $59/month (w/ student discount) for 3M/768k (they're not sure if it's
avail, they need a phone number first)
  - ~1 week after phoneline is installed
  - good refs
  - safe

2. Cavalier:
  - $50/month for 10M/1M (up to)
  - $36 install fee + $10 shipping fee for modem
  - either really good refs OR really bad refs
     - bad refs: people called with a problem, took forever to solve, said
will be called and never were
     - good refs: good speeds, stable
  - Called yesterday, said they didn't know speeds/avail in the area, will
send someone to test and call me today or Wed
       - called back today with results
   - risky

I'm tempted to go with 2., but not sure if it's worth the risk.

If people could give me some suggestions (again), it would be greatly
appreciated.
