FCG/Cyberportal.  (Originally in Claremont, 1996.)

We have used their services since 1996.  The only reason we do not use MVCom
is because they did not offer a local access number in our area at the time
dialup ISP service first became available here [Central NH].
FCG/Cyberportal was the first (well, actually LR.net was, but they went down
fast).  MVCom was actually  our *first* email and internet connection,
albeit toll-cost-intensive during times preceding 1996 absent options other
than FIDONet, and we liked them alot.  (They still offer a plain shell
account too last I checked.)  I think the cost comparison between FCG and MV
are similiar, though there may be more options offered by MV.  There are a
few Linux users who work at FCG too, though support for Linux/UNIX is not
immediately obvious.
