In the greater Boston area I get very close to DSL / cable modem download speeds. Upload speeds are lower, but still reasonable. My VPN connection and normal web browsing work just fine. I'm not a big gamer, so I can't comment game performance.
LA and New York city are about the same as Boston. In Albany NY, it's like a 33.6 modem at best. Same with San Fran. Latency and timeouts also seem much worse in these areas.
Outside of the US, I rarely get any connection at all.
I guess what I'm getting at is that it all depends on where you live and what kind of signal you have. Maybe if you live in a "fringe" area, you can get a n external antenna to help out.
What do 90% of Windows users do with 90% of their time? Office, of course! When Office for MacOS X is released, I'll probably abandon Windows. I'll probably devote less time to using Linux because it will be rather pointless for me to continue using it when I can do everything I need to do with a Mac. If someone gets Office for MacOS X to run on Linux, I might switch to Linux exclusively. (In my experience, WINE,etc. don't work well enough to be the solution.)

I live right outside of Boston. I travel all over the US, and sometimes to Asia and Europe. I have a Verizon xv6600 phone and an HP / Compaq NC6000 laptop (both with Bluetooth.)

I'd guess that he'll get what he deserves....
I'd bail and not even look back.
