Am I out of broadband options?

Truth be told, Comcast probably has the best basic expanded setup of any cable company I've seen. For $44 a month, I get 60-70 channels, plus PPV if I want it. My parents pay $10 a month a less and have AT&T in St. Louis...and it is just horrible. I've actually been pleasantly surprised by the way Comcast works, at least here in NE Philadelphia. I can only assume that it is due to the competition presented by Dish Network and DirecTV, since they can actually compete with cable and now offer local service.

I know in some parts of the Philadelphia area that RCN is making inroads and offers solid service (local phone service, long distance, internet, DSL). Unfortunately, Comcast cut them off at the knees here in the city.
