Re: Curious

DC is pretty well split between its 4 corners: SE NE NW SW. It's more of an east/west dichotomy but that's the general outline. Southeast DC is very poor, lots of crime, and a general crappy place to be. Northeast/middle is more middle class, and has sporadic availability of services. Parts of northeast approach southeast, though. Central and West are expensive and rich. No FiOS though, even though the Verizon Center is close to all that!

So, the poor and under-served go with dialup. The rich will get the most expensive option available. All that money spent on lobbyists has to go somewhere!

Also lots of DC cannot be served by RCN like Northwest as RCN does not have the right-of-way to dig up the streets in historic neighborhoods (eg. Capitol Hill).

When I lived at the Woodner in Columbia Heights, DC, the enire 1500 units were RCN. They've got a biggg lock on NW.
