[TriLUG] Goelocation service suggestions?

[Shane O'Donnell]

We've got CTC in Bedford (North Raleigh) too and, as Jon said, they've
got the community locked in to them as a sole provider.

When they told me I had no choice, I called Vonage (which I use over
my cable modem).  A few small glitches, but haven't looked back since.
 My telco box outside remains unconnected.

And insofar as this thread is concerned, my cable IP identified me in Raleigh.
