Seattle doesn’t belong anywhere on this list. I live 10 minutes (walking) from downtown and have two options: a shady local cable connection (used to be called Millennium Cable until they changed their name due to bad rep), and Qwest DSL. My "7 mbps" Qwest DSL tops out at about 2.4 mbps and has latencies between 100 and 250 ms for anything outside of Seattle.
Sony's just released a 15.5-inch addition to its VAIO S Series that not only adds a crucial bit of extra display acreage, but also bumps things up to a full 1080p.

I want FTTP & DOCSIS 3.0, and want them ASAP.
My "8mbps" Cox Cable connection bottoms out at 14mbps and tops around 22mbps, and gets a consistent 7ms ping, 28ms if I'm testing across the country.
Oh, and I have FTTC, but the box is practically right next to my house, so FTTH wouldn't show much of a difference.
Have you tried looking up Speakeasy DSL? It's expensive, but unlike Qwest you actually get the speed you pay for, low latencies, plus a static IP.
So true, downtown offerings suck.
