reply to jchambers28 They can and do charge them prices, when the customer has no other option. That is what they built there business model on. They are having trouble in urban areas, too much competition.
Pricing:
Downstream Upstream Price
Economy Up to 384 Kbps Up to 256 Kbps $24.95/Month
Basic Up to 3.0 Mbps Up to 1.0 Mbps $49.95/Month
Enhanced Up to 6.0 Mbps Up to 1.0 Mbps $69.95/Month
Probably something to do with being a rural service area.
