| What do you expect? It's funny how everyone wants more, more, more, but wants to pay nothing for it. |

| Compare what you pay today and what your speeds are to just 5-6 years ago. Where I live, Comcast high speed internet was the same cost per month, yet the speeds were half as fast as they are now. |

| It is true that speeds have increased, so maybe this analogy doesn't hold up perfectly... but... and I say this.... While I now have much faster internet, I have much LESS service then I used to have. I remember the days of the full service ISP.
I remember having shell access, server side storage, hosting for websites/files/whatever... unthrottled newsgroup access etc
I have none of those things now. But I do have a faster connection. Will it double tho in the next five years? Doesn't look likely... although the price might.

| I think it will get faster. Currently 8mb is available, and I heard that number will get higher in the next year or two. |
