Where the hell in the northwest do you live? I'm on 50mbps Comcast for $50 in the Seattle area and that's a pretty decent deal as far as I've found.

I've seen a couple communities do FTTH around here, but for the most part it's Comcast (which has actually been very solid, and I always get my advertised speed) or lol 1.5Mbps - 6Mbps DSL.

Keep an eye on CondoInternet and GigU. The apartment building across the street from me has gigabit connections from CondoInternet available and I'm incredibly envious of them. I have to make do with my 100mbps connection instead.

No need to go apartment hunting just yet, "fairly soon" has been delayed: http://www.geekwire.com/2013/mcginn-gigabit-squared-delay/

Thanks for killing my dreams. I guess I'll have to pin my hopes on CondoInternet moving into cheaper places. At least I have 105/20 right now.

You go over 150TB every month?

I just logged into my Comcast account just to see if Seattle upped it speeds and I had this pop up for signing up for some TV package. You literally cannot make it go away or click on ANYTHING else on the screen without adding it to your cart.

Are you loving kidding me?

Yeah, I figure we'll be lucky if we get it by the end of the year. We're pretty much always dead last for upgrades.
