It feels dirty to agree with an ISP on something. But even the worst corporations are on the right side of something from time to time I suppose.

There are some apartment buildings with shared Internet connections that are just open and public; It's crappy but cheap if someone can't afford individual connection

Personally I’d die for Ethernet straight into my unit, I had that once in a new building and it was fantastic (though you still had to pay an ISP individually), if only to avoid cable modems and the like. My current cable ISP wouldn’t provision IPv6 to their very own (old, clunky) modem so I had to go out and buy one that doesn’t care whether or not it’s provisioned.
