    Well, I just moved and I need new internet, due to the fact that my old internet got fried because of those damn severe thunderstorms... So, which internet provider should I get? I need an internet provider with fast speed recommended for PC gamers, since I am one, but I can't think of one! Oh, and just to let you know, I had Belkin before the thunderstorms struck my modem and fried it.

    hehe

    Cable is the way to go. Go for the biggest, fastest, most expensive package you can; 50mbps with uncapped downloads is probably most desirable. If you're American it generally sounds like you have a choice between being fucked in the ass by AT&T or fucked in the ass by Comcast, though.

    If you're in Canada be sure to avoid rogers.

    I don't mind TWC. They fight requests for IP activity unlike places like Comcast who will give it up in a heartbeat.

    I avoid Rogers ANYWHERE. I used Rogers while I lived in Louisiana and it SUCKED because it lagged so much and sometimes it even finds ways to disconnect itself.

    Oh and guys, I need suggestions on what IP TO GET. I'm pretty much aware of what not to get.

    First you might need to make sure you know what an ISP is. Belkin isn't one. As far as I know every ISP in America sucks balls. I think Comcast is meant to suck less balls than others though. You really need to give a list of what's actually available in your area, it varies pretty wildly.
