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?

Although they are only as local as the Yankees, Bway.net (http://bway.net) is an independent DSL ISP with good reputations for customer service and privacy protection. Bit-for-bit, they're more expensive than cable.
