Their idea of fast DSL is 10 Mb/s, and that's only in select areas, we don't even manage 1Mb/s in real world speed. Can somebody come and talk to my ISP?

Your link to the tower is irrelevant mostly. Once you establish your high speed connection to the tower, what's piping the data back to the web? A fractional T1? A T3? Before you answer, don't forget that you're sharing that bandwidth with everyone else that's pushing packets in that cell. Prediction: AT&T will drop OC-12's into all cell towers and wipe out copper once and for all. Death to copper! 4G vs. Fiber will be the new battle for our hearts, minds, and wallets.
