Frontier Online : Products : Residential : Internet Access
I'm currently stuck with Frontier Communications as my neighborhood monopoly. Frontier sucks for Internet.
$56 for 1 Mbps download with only 128 Kbps upload speed
$45 for 256 Kbps with who knows what type of upload speed
Their super packages for $90 for all the crap-you-don't need on a phone service for one low price.
Charter is my other Internet monopoly to choose from (Is that a choice or just a feeling of a choice?). They charge $57 per month for 3Mbps down and 256Kbps up.
On the north side of Minneapolis, Qwest is offering 384 Kbps for $27 per month.
Municipal Wi-Fi
Time to see if anyone is working on a Municipal Wi-Fi in my area. I might even have to look into EVDO service.

I've considered EVDO, but they charge about $1 per megabyte, with the bill not to exceed $100/month. And of course the upstream/downstream speeds are slow compared to that. I'd wait untill the price comes, and speed goes up.
