And so.
The ripoff begins. $20 for 768 DSL? Get real. |

Just because it's not a great deal for you doesn't mean its not a good deal for others.

Yea, and Road Runner Lite is a bargain at 384/128. And that goes from $19 promotion to $30. |

Just be thankfull that they can get broadband for $20. The only broadband I can get right now is a Verizon Wireless Aircard, that maxes out at 200kb and averages just over 100 for $60/month and a 2 yr service agreement |

Maybe for you but for me the $20 is a small price to pay compared to other options in my area.
Thats about as real as it gets.

said by Fatal Vector :The ripoff begins. $20 for 768 DSL? Get real. Further proof that price is the most important aspect of broadband than anything else for some people. If $20 is a ripoff, is $43 a ripoff for 6000 cable? You are getting more than 7x the speed of DSL after all. :P

In the rural area in am in, my only options are expensive satellite or what I have, which is 512/128 dsl. I am extremely thankful for the latter at around that same price. |

Actually, I have 1.5/384 through AT&T at $13. I know it will likely go up, but even so it's still twice the speed.
7 times the speed of DSL? You mean dialup. oops.
And, yes. I consider $43 a month for 6 Mb to be a rip. |

Someone had to open up..sheesh!
Just remember folks; 768/128 DSL 6 years ago was $49.95.
$20 beats dial-up from the major ISP's. It is still a good deal.
Hey, prices go up, you know; Gas, cell plans, cable...it is all relative. They go up, then they go down.
I say too bad for those that did not take advantage of the $15 or $18 DSL plans when it was available. |

It still beats dialup and suits my 83 year old aunt just fine. |
