[WLUG] ISP question - ATT or Comcast near EMU

[jlk at osml.eu]

I'm moving into the EMU area and had the same question.  Called Xfinity 
(Comcast).
Told them I wasn't interested in a package.  Didn't want voice nor TV.
They offered Internet only for $65 which is about what AT&T wants for
Internet only in Canton.
