 Raleigh?

Interesting. Raleigh has 2 basic choices for High Speed, AT&T or Time Warner ... I have more choices where I live.

I guess the high ranking is due to the proximity to Universities and the Research Triangle Park. (which is really in Durham, but everyone calls everything around there Raleigh)

I'm sure "Raleigh" includes the entire market: Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill etc. I imagine part of the ranking is due to unusually high penetration, EVERYONE around here has broadband.

Even if there are more providers in other cities, it's not like any individual home will actually have a choice of any provider - they'll be limited to whoever has wire build out to their home, usually the telco and the local cable franchise.

BTW, Raleigh is still BellSouth when it comes to DSL service. We're still waiting for AT&T to rollout their pricing here
