You want more speeds then you will pay more price expensive because ISPs need to buy more crap bandwidth to feeds customers a faster like crap if you want 1Gbits/500Mbits then just pay up 150 dollars to 200 dollars a month! |

My fios is faster and cheaper than cable/dsl.

How bad do you want it?
You can get a 45 Mbps T3 circuit today for about $10,000/month or a 155 Mbps OC3 for about $30,000/month.
Not sure how much a real 1 Gbps connection would cost...but a 2.48 Gbps OC48 runs about $200K/month.
I'm sure they all come with no caps or traffic shaping and great customer service too! (It better be for $200K per month) Can't speak to the bit about government spying though.... |

huh?? 
Like i said, when an ISP offers nice speeds such as fios, that doesnt mean taht they are gonna sock you with $100 internet bill.
at one time i was paying 52$ for 3M down on cable.
Now i pay 45$ for 15/2

When did you last look at pricing?
We pay about $3300/month for our (full) DS3 circuit, including loop (delivered over Verizon Fiber, down to coax through AdTran equipment, and eventually down to Ethernet handoff via an Anda 2200).

A T1 was about $300/month + install. DS3 (T3) was about $3,000/month + install. Both were about $150-250 for install.
The direct fiber optic was about $6,000/month + $10,000 install.

You realize connections like that cost TENS OF THOUSANDS right now? |

| Yeah, Dude... If ISP want to offer 1Gbits/500Mbits then it will cost ISP plenty of FIVETY OF THOUSANDS dollars but I rather to take a 100Mbits/100Mbits that is much plenty of speeds for web browsing, checking email, playing games...
Wait... I have an idea... ISP could provide lots of bandwidth backbone networks then customers can ride on 100Mbits/100Mbits that makes sense and less lag and less bandwidth hog... |

and the T1 equipment is free after rebate. loop charge is included in their prices

And what would you do with it?
I argue that capacity is king, but at the same time speed is important. There is a balance where both work together to ensure that customer requests are on the line the least amount of time without haveing so many requests queued up that it starts to slow down overall speeds. At that point it's a feedback loop that just builds up.
The other problem is those asking for the speeds are typically the warez downloaders, music/movie stealers, or worse.
Do not tell me you're downloading Linux ISO's.. only about 3 in 100 do that.
I would say that 20mbit is the current sweet spot. At that rate customers can effectively use internet video services like Xbox Live and Apple TV for on demand SD content. At 50mbit you could do 720p HD content. Currently at 20mbit HD 720p content takes a few minutes of downloading before it's far enough along that you could start it. (On Fios only). |

Heh...Google FTL! I don't work in that side of the business so my research consisted of about 5 minutes in a search engine. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!
Still, the point stands...$3300/month for a full DS3 circuit that you can run at 100% 24/7/365 (which seemed to be what was asked for) just won't fly for residential use (unless you're a hedge fund manager who lights his cigars with $100 bills). |
