[PLUG] ISP near Gresham

[Tomas Kuchta]

I have experience with the C and CL companies.

C - let's you have your router connected to cable service as long as you
chose the one they support. You can use bare modem and connect any router
to it. Or you could get all in one device - modem + router. The best choice
depends on your house layout and aesthetics. I prefer separate devices for
modularity and choice.

CL fiber service gives you their modem/media converter. To that you can
connect your router if you wish.

In both cases, it is probably better to get their default most basic device
at install and then return it for refund. I think, the C company will
install your modem if you have it at install time. CL will supply initial
equipment.

Hope it helps a little,
Tomas
