There isn't much choice for high speed internet access in Indianapolis.
Depending on the specific area, cable internet is either Brighthouse or
Comcast.  AT&T provides DSL most places and U-verse fiber in more select
locations.  In the more rural areas there are several fiber to the home
providers such as Ninestar, Smithville Telecom, and Metronet.

Welcome to Indy!
