lovekeiiy is on a distinguished road

I like the speeds, especially upload. But $150? I don't think so. I was thinking like maybe $65 or $70 would be cool. Heck, I'm getting upto 34mb down (just not consistent, it's usually more around 13 to 16), and a constant 1.5mb up. Granted, if you go by the numbers, and the fact I pay $55/mn, it's not a bad deal, since the speeds are close to four times faster, then using my bill as a standard, it would be about $171.86/mn to match speeds. If one is at the lower, 6mb down, 1mb up at $45 a month, to match speeds would cost 187.50/mn.

And cable said FIOS is similar priced. May be true, but their package for 30mb down and 5mb up is only $42/mn, at least the first year. They didn't have anything what price it is after that year or what faster speeds may cost.

I just can't justify speeding that kind of money for internet service to browse the web, download a few files and watch movies from service like Netfix and hulu.com.
