I'd be interested to see what kind of numbers you're getting. I'm in the Baltimore suburbs and thinking alot about Clear (Xohm) when It gets out this far.

I feel your pain, and I think most readers can relate to your frustration. I happen to be in Tampa, where BrightHouse is the predominant cable company. I'm pleased to say I've been quite pleased with their internet (and cable) offerings, and their customer service is among the best in the biz. As per your speculations on the future of ClearWire, you're crystal ball seems as good as any at this point. In any case, it's an excellent reminder of just how dependent we are all becoming on purchasing services from the big Telcos. Frankly, it would be really nice to have cheaper (and reliable) alternatives. I know in France there's a company called Free, and for something like 30 Euros, you get high speed, cable TV and I think even cellphone service. Everyone knows the demand for internet-everywhere is there, but the race to see who can deliver it to the masses is still being played out. Whereas countries like the Britain and Canada have state-run television (BBC and CBC), I wonder if they (and other countries) might come to see internet access as a similar public necessity, and start to offer it as such to their citizens.
