I just tested 1063.9 kb download, and I pay nothing because my stepdad's work gets the bill.

For a second, I was about to type out 1,063,900 bits, but that's a lot to count.

Looks like my upload got upgraded or something. It's never been that fast.

do they tell you what areas theyre planning to upgrade first?
and isnt the 15/2 for $50 a better deal?

Have you noticed in the past 3-6 months, bandwidth prices have lowered so much?
That's why dial up is dead now I guess. Why pay 25 a month for A.O.Hell, when you can pay 30 for at least a 1/256 connection.

im sorry, in my area, comcast has monopoly. sure theres DSL but who the fuck likes them? ^^ and for DSL, theres an SBC Yahoo monopoly.
they may provide a 3/384 (used to tie with comcast) for $20 less but no one changes to them :]
anyway i dont consider $55/month comcast is charging cheap

Most def the 15/2 for 49.95 is the better deal. You get 10 more mbps down for only another 10 dollars, why not take it? That last package is nuts, 30/5... *Drools*. But why is it so overpriced?? It should only cost 3 times what the middle one does because your only getting 3 times the product. Even at 200 dollars a month, its right up there to a T3 line (except for the symetrical upload) and its probably WAY cheaper.
It is WAY cheaper, its about 9,800$ cheaper, without having to pay for the local loop which is another 2-4K. Screw that, this Verison Fios is the way to go for mad speeds.... it might not be a 45Mbps but its close enough.
