Thats one thing that's always been a problem here. Thankfully, though Verizon is slowly but surely rolling its FiOS service out, though it hasn't quite reached the Baltimore area yet. It is now available in many of the surrounding counties though, so thats a sure sign its going to be here soon. There's also apparently a company named Mediacom (I think...) that serves some part of the state (I believe out in the western parts somewhere), but they won't be coming to Baltimore I don't think.
