The two co-founders of sonic.net are both on Google+[1] and come across as the type of ISP that most of us can only dream about. They also frequently discuss the economics of networks[2]... it's pretty rare/valuable to get such a candid view from someone actually in charge of running an ISP business.
Living in NYC, I can't tell you how jealous I am. Time Warner Cable is the only viable (although still unreliable) option for most people here, and youtube.com/my_speed reports the local TWC average as 6.5mbps down (up is less than 1mbps).
Somewhat related note; methinks the next internet protest should be to keep the soon-to-be-released cable TV spectrum unlicensed and prevent the telco lobbyists from furthering their monopoly power by privatizing this public good.
