I love living in northern Mississippi but ugh. I sure wish I had an Internet provider like this:

www.pcworld.com/business ··· bps.html"The most eye-catching will be the top plan, with 300Mbps (bits per second) downstream and 65Mbps upstream."
Oh and caps?? NONE!
Even more stuff to make you groan...
"However, even the faster FiOS won't bring the U.S. to the forefront of global broadband. A survey of fiber service providers released last September by the Organization for Economic Development (OECD) showed operators offering 1Gbps speeds in Slovenia, Japan, Turkey and Sweden, and one in Norway advertising 400Mbps service.
Localized projects in the U.S. also are hitting the 1Gbps mark, or will when they go live. The most closely watched example is Google's fiber buildout in the twin cities of Kansas City, Missouri, and Kansas City, Kansas."
