| I'd probably say its the filthiest city in America too. I like NY, Chi-town, Los Angeles, and even Memphis before Hellanta.
Cities I hate going to:
Atlanta (filthy, planes NEVER ontime)
Miami (Gun Required, Real Nice on the rich side)
New Orleans (nice before Katrina)
Detroit (okay)
Cities I love the most:
NYC (The world in one city)
Memphis (slow paced)
Seattle
Boston
Chicago
Los Angeles
San Fran
San Diego
Minneapolis
London
Phoenix

97% on high speed connection; doubt that.
edit - ok, the author actually says 97% of internet users are on high speed.

I'd take London over New York any day.
How could you think any place is filthier than NYC? Calcutta or Madras is cleaner than that place.
And I defintely don't buy that "NYC is the center of the universe" nonsense. Give me London, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Geneva, Sydney or Moscow any day over NYC. Only people that think NYC is the center of the universe are people who have never been anywhere else.

London is probably the dirtiest city in Europe. I haven't been to NYC in years, but I can't imagine its fallen THAT far. |

Baltimore made top five, wow. Now I really like where I live..
Maybe I should have guessed though.. with my 15/15 FiOS, and the best offerings Comcast has at my doorstep 
Sorry if that sounds like bragging.. we lived too far out in the country to get anything over 144/144 IDSL just a year ago. |

Re: Highest Paid
The "new" AT&T is going to milk us people in the legacy BellSouth region of US when it comes to DSL pricing as long as possible. According to the DSL billing dept. I was told that in about 6 mos the legacy BellSouth region should be on the current pricing that AT&T offers in the legacy SBC, PacBell, Ameritech, etc regions. I'll believe it when I see it.
I have Charter HSI as my primary connection and then DSL for a backup. |

Atlanta is interesting city. I've lived here for a few yrs now (originally from Orlando) and I've had to get used to it. I'm still trying to get used to it actually.
I don't think its too dirty, but the air most definitely is come summer time.
I'm still trying to get used to the quirks people have in the ATL area:
1: Everyone takes their sweet time at pretty much anything
2: The traffic lights take forever and a day and they are allergic to putting sensors in the roads for the traffic ligths
3: I've never experienced an interstate flooding when it rains - I75 will flood in some areas if it rains pretty hard for a long enough time - the drainage in Atlanta isn't up to par.
4: When driving onto an on-ramp to the freeway people treat it as a regular city road doing about 20 ~ 30MPH, last time I checked an on-ramp is there to speed up and merge in with the traffic flow. They try doing that in FL, they'd get run over and/or cut off and cursed at.
And finally (I have more, but this list will be brief):
5: God forbid if its raining, even a mere drizzle! People on the roads will slow down to a crawl because its as if they never experienced rain before. Its great to be cautious, but damn!
As for your list, I have to concur on most of the cities on your list. NYC is most definitely not the center of the universe, but its reasonably clean.
My favorites are London & Berlin (Germany) |

Where is the list of the "most strangely wired" cities in the country? I live about 1/3 of a mile from my CO here as the crow flies; about 3/4 of a mile by street; but over two miles according to my DSL provider.
Of course, this is San Francisco, (otherwise known as San Patronage). I suppose some mayor's buddy was paid by the foot to string telephone lines.

Re: Baltimore
I agree, the best I can get is the 8Mbps from Comcast, Qwest is a joke with their "7Mbps" which with ppp overhead is closer to 6Mbps.
