Tons of options. The company of choice may be determined by where you live though.

ATT is not unlimited. Good service. Very little problems. Had em for the past year and running. May be your best bet.
Sprint is Unlimited but have heard it sucks. Had it for 2 weeks, and took their service/phone back to the sprint store. Ceapest.
Verizon is not unlimited, but I've NEVER had a single problem with them. 2 years running. Most expensive, but worth it IMO.

Maybe someone can chime in and give feed back on Tmobile, and Metro.

Cable companies will vary on the areas across town. Verizon, Time Warner Cable, Charter, AT&T, Road Runner...

each cylinder not piston, and each cylinder makes that power by means of forced induction, a turbocharger.

I will not change to another carrier no matter how much cheaper it is. Verizon is fast, reliable, and has huge coverage.

The cylinder does nothing.. you have that backwards... the cylinder is just a tube.. it is in fact the piston that moves and generates the horsepower and torque. Well technically the gas vapor exploding that makes it move...but point is my original statement is accurate.

Definitely, we're within minutes of DNT, 121, Bush, and 35. Two major airports within 20-25 minutes too.

i would agree, i have uverse too

uverse is so slow my 3g phone downloads faster. i gave it the download test and i'm at a whopping 1-2mb/s i'm pretty sure i had a dialup modem capable of that in 1999.
