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?

Re: RCN works fine for me

RCN actually applied a discount to my account this year after my promo ran out -- I was surprised, as I was getting ready to call to "cancel." Still higher than the promo, but about $35 less than "standard" rates.

They do have an annoying redirection system for failed DNS queries that was screwing up my VPN for work. Calling and asking them to turn off "PaxFire" will get it switched off free on your account.
