1 edit | Is so much...... too much? Here in the ATL there are a lot of broadband providers, but a big issue is the hot spots. I can sit at just about any corner from downtown, to mid-town to Buckhead and pick at least 5-10 providers. | |

| I'm kind of surprised we're not a bit higher. Oh well, I got mine! LOL!
And #30 seems a bit out of place on this list, doesn't it?
Guess crackheads are big consumers of broadband. Who knew?

| Re: The full list of top 30 said by HardDriver  :What is that random line going through Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee? Yes, I see there is another one going thru the Dakotas. The web site from the story makes no mention of what they are. Maybe just a sloppy drawing by the page designer.

| Re: The full list of top 30 The line going through TN/KY is too far east -- Chattanooga is in the Eastern time zone, not the Central. (the TZ line meets more or less where TN, GA, and AL intersect)

| Re: The full list of top 30 They are time zones, but are just very poorly done. I'm not real sure why you would even have time zones on such a graphic. My guess is that they had stock images and the one they started out with just had time zones on it already.

Imperial, MO | Fairly well spread among the major telcos. If I've done the math correctly that's thirteen cities for AT&T, seven for Bell South (soon to be ATT South), four for Qwest, and six for Verizon. | |

| Cause I see two contributing factors for Orlando. Most of the city is fairly new(less than 30 yrs) and we also have an incredibly high concentration of hotels , almost all of them with high speed internet. I suspect that some of these other high rated cities may be like Orlando in that as soon as you move out into the suburbs your choices rapidly thin out. Less than 10mi outside the city limits I have 1 hot spot (Starbucks) within 5 mi and my choice of cable or telco high speed internet. It is not bad but definitely no nirvana. | |

| Weather a factor? Interesting that the cities at the top mainly have more temperate climates which one might think would have more people outside than inside on the computer. I would have thought that the colder climates would have been heavier. Or maybe it's the techs feel more like getting out and doing some serious wiring in a warmer climate. | |

|  A little surprising, really
As for Wi-Fi, Atlanta has never struck me as a city that's big into it, probably because of the heavily car-centric commuter culture. That said, hotspots seem to be popping up at places I'd never expect them lately, so maybe that's starting to change now that people are moving back intown.

| Re: A little surprising, really I live in the Buckhead area of Atlanta, one of the more densely populated for residential and business use. I've experimented with "wi-fi" here but the only signals I could see are from unprotected private-user routers. Sure, I could walk down the street to Borders, Barns&Noble, or Starbucks and use the wi-fi there, but I'm talking for home use there is nothing other than DSL or Cable, and you're pretty much limited to the telco (Bellsouth)or Comcast for those. | |
