I just moved to Phoenix from Chicago - even in a major US city I'm forced to use DSL by the apartment complex I live in. I didn't think I'd have to check to see if I can get broadband because it seemed insane to think that it wouldn't be available.

Nonetheless, pages with needless weight have become incredibly annoying, inconvenient, and cumbersome. Also, the much of the rest of the US (outside of metro areas) has some really terrible access to decent internet speeds. That's not even to mention anywhere in the rest of the world.

So kindly cool it with your needless condescension. It's unnecessary and contributes nothing.

Hey Neighbor!

  If you can get it... Cox has gigablast available here for about $120/month.  I get about 800ish down and 35ish up.

Thanks for the advice! Unfortunately, the apartment complex has an exclusivity agreement with CenturyLink. Cox and others have expressed willingness to pull cable into my unit, but the management company just won't allow it. It's driving me insane. It's unfortunate that this type of practice is even allowed/legal.

oh wow...That really does suck. I haven't tried any of the WISPs[0]yet, but maybe they would work?
