I'm in (roughly) downtown Chicago. My building had no wired Internet when I moved in here last year (!). I called Comcast and they wanted $71,000 to install, and $800/month minimum to wire me up, despite all my neighbors already using them.

I called AT&T. Yes, they can have me hooked up with DSL tomorrow. At 1.5Mbps. O_o

What about RCN? Is that Comcast now?

I'm not sure if they are Comcast now. They seemed to be separate when I called them. They couldn't help me, though.

Is fiber an option for you?

Would it be from a different company outside the major players? I spent weeks trying to find anyone who could wire this building and gave up. I'm on 5G now which is actually 100X more useable than I expected.
