I may be driving to Mobile and other areas occasionally, but most of the 
time I'll be in Tuscaloosa or Birmingham.  I live in Tuscaloosa.

Thanks for all the feedback.  I currently have DSL through AT&T, and I 
should probably decide whether to switch before deciding on a cellular 
carrier.  Are there any real options for residential broadband in 
Tuscaloosa other than the cable companies, AT&T, and Earthlink?

It's too bad WiMax isn't available yet.  I was with Clear in Portland 
and found it satisfactory (though some of the more technically demanding 
users weren't happy with the quality of the connection).
