Adelphia is as fast as it gets around here, unfortunately. Verizon DSL was reliable when I had it, but still overpriced. Jet Broadband just picked up Nesbe Cable's customers in Campbell and Bedford counties in the last year sometime. The jury is still out on how reliable their service is.
There's not much else to say about Internet access locally, unless you go with dial-up, a
3G cellular based solution or Starband (satellite serivce). All three suck, IMHO.
I'm waiting with baited breath for
WiMax to come to the Hill City. That'll be the day. Although, I suppose I could live with
EVDO. Alltel should hurry that up.
