Re: Guess I don't have broadband hereWow, what Comcast system are you in? Are you in an area that is going to be spun off to SpinCo after the Comcast-Time Warner Merger? |

Chicago
Internet only prices. Clearly my market isn't very competitive. My only other option is ATT (DSL, not Uverse.)
Some suburbs are lucky enough to get WOW, which only charges something like 15/2 for 49.99. |

must be older plans as they have newer faster speeds at or under the prices you list there. |

I'm referring to internet only plans. No TV/phone bundle.
I believe comcast bumped up speeds for those who are bundled |

Shit I thought Cox was bad...I pay $60 for 50/10 |

That is bad considering CenturyLink will do 40/5 for $29.99 or 40/20 for $34.99 if you're close enough to the DSLAM.
I also go over the "cap" on CenturyLink on a regular basis and never hear a peep from them. Cox was charging me $72 a month and I'd get emails monthly until they finally told me I had to go to a business plan for using 280GB, so I just took my business elsewhere. |

That's interesting, considering I pay $46 a month for "Pure" DSL from Centurylink at 10Mbps/768Kbps. |

wha? I'm in Chi and I have 50/10 for $70, which is still a rip off but marginally acceptable.
Chicago coverage is street to street but I'm kinda surprised they won't give you any high speed options. |

isn't the default that they rent you one of their own so it supports the maximum possible speeds? |

Yeah, I'm not even in a major market, and I get 111/11 on my Blast! connection. |
