San Francisco, CA | here in canada you can get 25 down 1 up, with no funny speed boost(like comcast?) or weird stuff, just you pay the fee for that tier, and you get that speed(with cable) |

Why? You're notorious for heavy capping and low quality services, yet you are so much more densely populated compared to the USA. 90% within 100 miles of U.S. border.
I can get 30/5 here from two providers (well two soon!)...

however, our DSL is fun(on the west of the country anyway). about $50/mo, 6 down, 1 up, and no cap. and no pppoe nosense just MAC based DHCP IP's. |

Well 150GB ain't bad, but I have heard horror stories about other Canadian ISPs. I don't have any caps on my service, though there are some upload caps on the standard service (not bandwidth usage, but rather speed)... The premium tier for $10-15 more a month has no upload caps whatsoever on the upload side, and there are no download caps on either package. FIOS has no capping whatsoever, so I'm waitign for that, though I've never been capped and I upload a couple GBs a day at 2mbps.

the normal $35 consumer tier is 7/0.5 and it has a cap of around 50. the medium tier is $60/mo is 10/1 and has a cap of 100
on the other hand, as mentioned, the main dsl isp has ridiculously low caps, but does not enforce them at all. |

It is $60 cheaper in NJ then other parts of the country where it is offered. Cablevision is good for something after all. |

New Jersey gets 50 Mbps for $40 less than the great unwashed gets 30 Mbps. NJ gets twice the down speed for the same price in the basic tier and 1/3 more down and 2 1/2 times the up speed in the middle tier for the same price. |

Good price for people who can afford it, for me the sweet spot is 20mbit/5mbit for $50... Better deal than the 15/2 from OOL for $45..

The Jets suck, let them leave... Wait, no... They bring in tax revenue for NJ, so that helps us all save money. 
If it wasn't for Verizon, we'd all still be on a single tier 10/1 connection from OOL instead of the free 15/2 upgrade and other tiers.
