In my different area of that small town, I pay $40 for 75 mbit, that actually gives me 95mbit (even at 7:00pm). And is rock solid. I don't mean to sound like a shill but I think "most people" is an incredible stretch.
Yeah, you're totally right. I just went to Comcast's website and it seems like we're basically just getting shafted. I wonder if they adjusted their prices now that RCN is selling 105mbps internet for ~$40-50/mo
