I live in the middle of NYC and the ONLY option I have for high speed internet is Cable and their service sucks. I'd switch to wifi in a minute if it were reliable and available. I know others feel the same way. Toss in IP-TV and we'd have a real winner.
Fresh Meadows isn't "middle of NYC", its a suburb but still in the borders.
IPTV over muni wifi is a joke unless Youtube quality is what you want.
