Maybe other cities should hop on Tacoma Washington's bandwagon. Here the City of Tacoma is competing directly with other broadband providers, AT&T and Qwest. They layed down their own fiber optic lines and allow local ISP's to distribute broadband cable connections to consumers via the Click! Network. I myself pay $30.30/month for a 2mps download and 256kbps upload. I have had maybe 2 outages, that I know of, in the year that I have been with them, one was for 4 hours and the other was for 20 minutes. I have loved the connection and I think it is a great way for the city of Tacoma to bring in a little extra revenue. I used to be with AT&T and I was paying around $60/month after all the misc. charges. I was also part of Qwest DSL and was paying around $50 after all their fees.
