Wow another new yorker!...   I'm in finance, with RCN (the cable people) and I've
got some 20 down, 2 up for under $100 USD a month... Although I think they do other
packages with static ip's etc etc....
Anyone up for a NYC 'meet'?

 Hello! 
 I live in a typical NYC apartment where the power costs (including 
 fuel gas for cooking) are bundled into the rent so they never tell me 
 the rates. 
 
 
 That's a great arrangement - what are the broadband options like - how much 
 can you get up/down?

Hello! 
Typically 1.5M one way and 768K the other. AT&T keeps mucking up the 
figures so I can't get a straight answer out of them. 
I ended up sticking with AT&T (Who was my dialup service provider) 
when those clowns at Verizon couldn't give me a straight answer at 
all. This is before FIOS of course...... 
My one problem is that technically it's a consumer grade connection as 
opposed to a business one so I can't do very much with it. I did at 
one point investigate the AT&T business offerings but I never got an 
accurate response from that office. 
And even though I have TWCNY for cable TV, they've stopped offering me 
their version of broadband access for some reason.....
