I think that will change as wireless becomes more and more pervasive. As for 'leading the way', DSL is dependent on the phone line quality, and these phone lines were laid out before DSL.

The fastest DSL I can get here is 300KB down (3Mbps package). I pay $26 which isn't bad, but I cannot even pay more for 6Mbps because the phone lines here suck. You'd think SF would be "leading the way" for the rest of the country.
