Charter Cable 3000kbs highspeed internet $49.95 + basic cable and taxes
equal about $64/month. That gives me downloads in the 400KBS+ range* (if
the server has the bandwidth to feed it to me that fast. Standard
1000kbs highspeed internet (usually gave me downloads in the 100-125KBS
range) from them is $10 cheaper. But I live in the boonies and the
county is the local cable franchisee and there is no competition except
DSL. Right now I am on a 6 month promotional thingy and the package is
discounted to about $39/mo. So your prices seem a bit high but not
outrageously so.
*Yes, I know those numbers do not match. 3000kbs is about 300KBS but
Firefox reported a download speed of 425KBS from ibm.com this morning
and I have seen as high as 477 sustained. I can not complain about the
performance of the local cable company, and their reliability is getting
better.
