[OT] Need feedback from current iProvo MSTAR users

[Steve]

You know thats really odd, because when I signed up for MStar it was
because of the bundling (alot better than comcasts deal anyways) but
when I said I wanted a little faster than they could provide, they
said I could get my internet through Xmission and still get other
services through them.
