Must be the caffeine

Someone explain this one.

"The surprise of the list is Minneapolis, which improved its standing from No. 11 to No. 7, beating New York and Portland, Ore., among others. Minneapolis' secret? A particularly broad range of service providers, including a number of neighborhoods with 20 different access options for high-speed Internet. "

Hmm, we have Comcast or Qwest and if you're really lucky you live close enough to a Covad CO.

If you live in the suburbs you can get FIOS.

Re: Must be the caffeine

I am wired on a daily basis with all the coffee available here, are they counting individuals during this survey?
