I live in the "suburb" and we've got at least 3+ choices in providers. We have Comcast, RCN, Verizon, Satellite, and other random providers. So I'd have to say our broadband is upto date.

In my suburbs, we have a choice of Time Warner Cable, Verizon DSL, sattelite (which seems pointless with the better options), and wireless (VZW, Sprint, AT&T, and Hudson Valley Wireless). So, that department seems well covered for my town as well.

No, you don't, if your byline is correct (it says "Boston, MA"). Mine says "Aptos, CA", which I need to update to "San Jose, CA". Let me explain the difference between Aptos and San Jose:

San Jose is a major metropolitan city. Aptos is a suburban town of a minor city (Santa Cruz), and foreigners often mistake it for being a suburb of an even more minor city that's closer to it (Watsonville, but that's a field and picker city).

Boston is an urban area. Is there some exceptions in its bounds, like in a few cities, and to what extent are those exceptions really exceptions in practice? Are you near enough to urbania to get its effects?

I lived in Boston for college, I know what a suburb is thank you. I currently live in Woburn, MA which is the suburbs. As I noted bellow boston is not a suburb nor are the surrounding cities.
