Internet recommendations?

We haven't checked in a while, and hate having to pay for the most primitive cable, that we don't really want (pretty sure it doesn't consist of more than the Weather channel at this point), just to have internet. Has a simple interweb provider, serving the Highland Park neighbourhood; popped up since last we checked? Would you recommend it? Or do we continue to be doomed to be attached to the teat of one of the cable monsters? Cheer Brett Sent from my iPad
