where I used to work, we tried all 3 providers except Clearwire was the wireless one at the time. Clearwire sucked and I rated it 1 out of 10 as we couldnt get a clean signal being in town and around and buildings where we needed it.
As for wired hookups, HT and Oceanic people tell me there really is no difference in speeds as you will get the faster speeds if your area and neighborhood usage allows. Meaning, you can pay for the "Turbo" or "Business" class, but if you are too far away or your neighborhood takes up a lot of bandwidth, you wont consistently have those speeds.
HT seems better cause it runs off a telephone line, Oceanic runs off their cable line, so if you got a backup battery supply you can still have internet.
