There are a few local ISPs, but they are being squeezed out by AT&T.  
My SOHO DSL with Midwest Internet is ending in a few weeks. I'm  
looking to use DSLExtreme.com based on suggestions by others caught  
in the same situation. Llifegrid.com is a different local ISP I've  
seen in passing, and found their web-site, but I haven't had any  
contact with them.
