[wplug] A question about the list.

[Luquilla Hughes]

I think this was discussed about 2 months ago on the list. I was thinking

Verio or Telerama?
What is your opinions about there service and support?
Would you reccomend one other than them?
If you have tried more than one which one did you like best?
