[RP TownTalk] Internet choices?

[Sarah Wayland]

Going to this site: https://www.allconnect.com/results/providers?zip=20737
it looks like xfinity is another option. I've wondered about them for a
while - and they are cheaper than Verizon's FIOS option. Curious to know if
anyone has experience with them.
