Does anyone live in DC area, and know good cable internet providers? (Cheap)...DSL too..

Thanks.

Not many choices. Verizon and Comcast are the big ones. You may be able to get Starpower Cable, and there are a couple of dsl companies.

My bf got Comcast. The guy he talked to told him there's a loophole. You can sign up for 3 months at a low rate (like $25/month for the first 3 months in my bf's case); cancel, wait a while, then sign up again with another promotional deal.

Also, my best friend uses AOL DSL, ick.

Cox Cable is the provider in my area (Fairfax), and I think they service a part of PG County - not sure about that though. If you never have any problems, you'll be fine, but if you ever think about using their customer support, you're pretty much screwed. Of course I speak as a person without cable internet since they haven't yet wired my cable lines for broadband (although my neighbor up the street has had it for 2 years - go figure :( )

I know someone that has had Comcast cable for a year or so and has been very pleased with it. I also have a couple friends who use Verizon DSL and seem to be happy with it.
