 $47 per month about 6 days "Painless setup, reliable." "Ridiculous 25 GB transfer cap, fairly high price for speed." "Nothing better in Bay City... yet."

Let's get the biggest thing out of the way first: Bay City Cablevision limits you to 25 GB/month, with $1/GB overage charges. This is true for all of their packages (3, 5, 7 Mb/s).
If you can swallow that pill (and a very bitter pill it is), the rest is okay. There's no contract, you can use your own cable modem, the setup guy was in and out in under 10 minutes, and the speeds & connection are reliable. Prices are high for the speeds available, if you're used to bigger broadband markets (the $47/month charge is for 5 Mb/s). Curiously, when I signed up, they required me to set up autodraft for monthly bill payment -- I don't know if they still do this.
The only major competition that I know of is AT&T DSL, but on the south side of town AT&T only offers 1.5 Mb/s and rarely reaches even that. It's uncapped but painfully slow.
