TBI is basically a broadband retailer. They do have the basic ISP
business which is how they started. I think they told me they have 300
DSL customers. I have a static IP and a 384 up and down as that is all
I can get in this part of town.
The nice thing is you get Eithernet at the modem. No need for PPPOE or
any of those other schemes. Plug in and go.
Prices seem to be competitive.
