Camden, TN | I will say this 2 years ago you paid $48 a month for bellsouth/at&t 6 Mbps tier now it's $43. 2 years ago you paid $50 for 5 Mbps and $70 for 10 Mbps from Charter in my area. Now 5 Mbps is $44 and 10 Mbps is $50. I also remember 7-8 years ago that 1.5 Mbps DSL and 1.5 Mbps cable internet was $40 a month. |

| Back home TWC used to have 5/512 (or was it 5/384?) service for $45/month. It's now 7/512. Problem: possible caps.
The local WiSP has increaed speeds from 384/128 to 512/??? for roughly the same price (maybe $1 less) but no more static, or even public, IP...
Comcast is doubling download speeds and, in the case of the low-end package, upload speeds, in some areas. Since the low-end package will now have more andwidth than the highe-end option did a little while ago, I'd say that's an $8-$10 price drop. "Blast" is now $10 cheaper as well. Problem: network managment and caps. if you're on a DOCSIS 2 package you still have to share bandwidth with everyone else on the node, which with the faster tiers may or may not be a good thing. |

But I'd still like to see sub-$40 high speed internet. There's really none of that here. Comcast is $45+, Qwest is $40+... |
