Local alternatives for ISP/wireless

[leafshimmer.livejournal.com]

Dear Square,

I just bit the bullet and got a MacBook, and want to set up wireless in my apt. I was going to get it via the same Evil Empire through whom I have my cell service, but my initial attempt to do so got snarled in bad phone menus and bureaucratic kabuki.

I'm wondering if there are any good local alternatives out there anyone would recommend?

I'm very happy with SpeakEasy DSL. They're not local by any stretch (originally based out of a Seattle coffee shop, but now they're owned by Best Buy), but they have very reliable good service and customer-friendly policies -- run whatever you want, connect to work without technically violating your contract, no secret data transfer caps, and so on.

that's Speakeasy, no StudlyCaps. Sorry; got used to EveryThing being ThatWay on the InterNet.
