So Im trying to set up utilities but Im not sure what to do internet wise with so many choices. I dont really want to spend more than $50/month for internet and I dont really need cable so a package deal isnt really of any interest. What do you guys suggest? Oh and it would just me me using it and the onyl things I do online are web browse and occasionally play PS3 online, no downloading or streaming really.
