You don't have a big a ultra sized city to get good Internet along with someone willing to provide the service that you want. Supply and demand, there is a demand, they meet with the supply.

Lake Zurich, IL | Au contraire, I'd suggest that you're much better off being in a very small town, and hopefully far away from a large incumbent. This small town might even be resistant to the corruption and waste that make change difficult in larger municipalities. |

I know of a bunch of small towns in Canada that are wired pretty well (population of less than 5,000)
OC-192 backbone, and offer both Cable internet and DSL for less than $40/month w/o bundling.

Town of White River, Ontario, population of less than 1,000, with access to Shaw's OC-192
Standalone 5Mbps DSL
»www.vianet.ca/residential_dsl.php
Standalone Cable HSI (unfortunately with Caps)

Sadly enough, the cable company (Shaw) doesn't offer digital TV though

| TCT will also offer a triple play package, though I am not entirely sure on pricing. I have a brochure here, though some things aren't entirely clear to me just yet. I intend on calling them later today to clarify a few things while hopefully getting on the test list for our zone. HSI speeds for now will start out at 5Mb/s and TCT is eventually going to offer their fastest tier at 100Mb/s with room to expand faster than that since they are using GPON and the ONT has a GigE port in it. TV will be IPTV based and phone will have two options from what I understand. There is a VoIP option served from an additional Linksys ATA or the second option which is POTS from the ONT. |
