In Atlanta, one of the better cheap options is Joi (http://www.joiinternet.com) It's $7/$8 monthly, for unlimited bare bones access. I've found it to be very reliable, if not as fast (from an overall throughput perspective) as people like Earthlink.
For a complicated reason, I ran Joi and Earthlink side-by-side for several months. Using the only DL metric I know of (Alt.blah.blah.redheads) the Earthlink connection ran consistently 20-30 percent faster.
It's simple karma. Real in the past (along with their close friends at TRUSTE) rode pretty much roughshod over the user community.
They may make it back into the collective's good graces, but it will take a long while. In the mean time, Real just has to endure the jibes and snipes about spyware, ad popups, etc - they've earned it.
