Probably.  Not me, tho.  But you'll find them at various tech events
throughout the month, throughout the region [1].

Plenty!  Frequented after and during the various tech events throughout
the month, throughout the region [2].

A few.  KWartzLab, for sure.  Computer Recycling too:

And wherever the geeks are, at various tech events throughout the month,
throughout the region [3].

Teksavvy. End of discussion. http://teksavvy.com/

No bandwidth caps.  And knowledgeable tech support. And advocates for
copyright and net neutrality issues.

No affiliation, other than I give them money every month.  I subscribe
to the 200 GByte/month service, but there's an unlimited service as
well.  I've gone over only once, but since Teksavvy charges based on the
average over the previous two months I still didn't incur any overage fees.
