[luau] Alternative to DSL and RoadRunner

[Joe Linux]

I recently switched from RR to Earthlink cable modem running on RR's 
cables.  Earthlink has some advantages over RR in that they include 
unlimited dial-up with the cable modem so you can use Earthlink when you 
are in the mainland and your family is still in Hawaii.  They also give 
you more mailboxes.  ( 8 instead of 5).  I've been using the Earthlink 
connection here in Denver and it's not too bad.  They haven't kicked me 
off as yet, but the connection itself is rather slow.  However Earthlink 
Cable in  Hawaii seems better than RR at least at the present time.  RR 
puts out all kinds of FUD about how Earthlink doesn't really work as 
good as RR but none of it is true.
