Well, besides Grande Communications, there are some wireless broadband providers. Depending upon where you are, your mileage will vary.... For some remote clients I've helped setup home/small-biz networks for, I've used TexasData.net out in the hill country and far SW Austin. I haven't done as much of that of late, but there are now a couple of other providers in the area, too, but I haven't used them: TX Wireless Internet - www.txwinet.com - SW Austin/Hill Country into SE Austin Texas Communications - www.texascom.com - Most of Travis County; N of Austin covering RR, GT and beyond, says the tower is in Leander; also as far S to New Braunfels. Also, through another quick search found this site: http://www.onelasvegas.com/wireless/wireless_ISPs_Texas.html which lists a lot for Austin/Central TX.... I don't remember the details, but I know that TexasData used a version that cut through heavy rainstorms, but others didn't, including satellite services like Dish.
