Well you could always wait and see who buys this area? We will probably know in the next couple of months. I live in Castalia and 2 out of my 3 lines are out of contract. I am going to wait and see who buys us out before switching.

I think that's what I'm going to do. I'm at least going to wait until I move to Pittsburgh to decide what I'm going to do.
Thanks everyone.
