[kwlug-disc] rogers cable modem upgrade?

[Andrew Mercer]

I'd love to hear opinions on Acanac if anyone has tried them before. I 
have been thinking about switching to them to try out their service for 
several months now.

They seem to have good plans and pricing as well as some nerdy extras 
such as SSH tunneling, VPN service, 100GB free online storage, etc.
