High-bandwidth connections come in all shapes, sizes, costs, and acronyms. The specific connections available where you live depend quite heavily on exactly where you live within your city, state, and area of the country. Even though one of the high-speed services may be available in your city, you could discover that it isn’t in your neighborhood yet.

Don’t automatically assume that no high-bandwidth connections exist in your neck of the woods just because you live far away from a booming metropolitan area. Some of the coolest high-speed projects take place in smaller, more rural cities, because those areas understand the economic importance of the online world better than their big-city brethren.  Cost and ease of installation also vary wildly around the country.  Just because companies sell the technology doesn’t mean they know how to install it yet. Big businesses, with their equally big budgets, need more speed than these connections provide, so those folks are on their own.
