You probably have 3 viable choices - cable, DSL, or fiber (FIOS or Uverse). DSL and fiber (if available) is probably Verizon. Cable depends on who the franchised operator is in your neighborhood - all the online service finders require an exact street address.

Good luck - RCN has historically been rather mediocre. Too bad you couldn't have gotten Optimum Online (Cablevision).

Although - 25 mbs service for 35 bucks a month including modem rental is a great price.
