We live in the Alger Heights area and switched from Dish Network + AT&T DSL to Uverse and doubled the amount of channels we had + 4x the internet speed. Works great for what we use the internet for, web browsing, downloading files and working from home<br>

<br>
I'm finally fed up with comcast enough to look around for alternate<br>
ISPs, but it looks to be a sparse market for wired broadband.<br>
(And not because of the latest DNS outage, their resolvers are way to<br>
slow, anyways, imo.)<br>
<br>
I'm looking at /will be testing Clears (<a href="http://clear.com" target="_blank">clear.com</a>) 4G home service,<br>
but I'm not expecting that to be up to par.<br>
Ma Bell's U-verse is about the only thing I can see that can compare,<br>
but if the price is reasonable to the speed<br>
I'd prefer to give my money to some local/smaller provider.<br>
<br>
Does the Grand Rapids metro area have any other options!?!?<br>

That from here on out, nature stops deciding who survives and who<br>
doesn't, but our own decisions?<br>
