Good internet service provider in Oakland, CA?

Just moved to a new apartment near Lake Merritt, and I’m looking for recommendations on internet service providers. I’ve heard from one person that Astound is good, and not sure about prices/reliability/other pros and cons of other options (Comcast, Earthlink, AT&T, ..... ?).

Highest priorities for me are fast internet (big bandwidth) and reliability, at lowest cost (unlimited flat rate, not per-use).
