Shopping for the Internet on the Internet

I moved into my new apartment yesterday.  Everything is great and there will be a much longer post later for reasons that will soon be clear.  However, I am currently sitting at the local public library, using their internet (not to mention enjoying their air conditioning!).  I have air conditioning at home but no internet yet.  I've been researching internet companies in the area and this is how I feel:
The Experience of Shopping for Internet on Public Internet
It's not that I don't appreciate the ability to walk into a building I've never been to, hunker down, and utilize the greatest information sharing system without being molested by bills, but I think one of the other users put it best when she suggested that I "pray to the internet connectivity gods because the connection speed is frigging slow".  Also, there are parts of the internet service provider's website that don't work, specifically the "order now" button which takes me to a page filled with indecipherable html.

In any case, once I have my own internet I will write something more positive about my moving experience.
