Okay, boy, thats extremely local coverage. Has anyone heard about the new sub shop down the street from my house type local. I thought it sounded interesting til i realized it was just for jacksonville fla.

im not so concerned with that as whether or not i can consistently acces the internet, with speed, for less then cable AND not letting Comcast get their grubby non-customer service claws into me.

This could be considered a bump for the night time folk.
