Your post brings up a question that I've yet to find and an answer for. Many 20-inch LCD monitors (like this Dell monitor) have a native resolution of 1600x1200. Are any there graphics cards out yet that can output DVI at that rate?
I have the 100Mb service mentioned in the previous post. It's called SwitchPoint (used to be called AirSwitch) and it's currently available in Springville and American Fork, UT.
It's basically a hacked version of Ethernet with whole town (most of it anyway) set up as giant switched LAN. Small pods connected to the backbone are located in each neighborhood. Each home using the service has a weatherproof CAT 5 Ethernet running from the pods to the house (usually underground). It's brought into the house just like a phone line and they install a wall jack inside your house. You get a static IP address and you're good to go. With the basic service you're limited to 500 MB per day, averaged over a seven period (ShoutCast streams will quickly get close to your quota if you're not careful). It was a pain to get them out install the whole thing, but dang it's fast!

Yes, they filter at the port. Can you imagine the size of the "Network Neighborhood/My Network Places (or whatever MS is calling it this week)"?

They're Pioneer plasma displays. $20,000 a pop.
