and I pay around 80 in TN for 25 mbps
2 comments

Seriously? I'm paying $70/month (no modem rental fee as I own my own) for this http://www.speedtest.net/result/2652775120.png in the Nashville area.

What part do you live in? I think they're upgrading everyone? Or maybe it was just the middle Tennessee area. Either way, the $70 I'm paying is 10 times slower than the internet Google Fiber users get for the same price so even $70 is still grossly overprices for what I'm getting.

wow...im in Mid TN, the Smyrna/Murf area. I am not in the Metro area at all.

I also use my own modem. My speeds are nowhere near your results, it is actually closer to 15-20mbps down and 2-4mbps up.

I need some more info from you on this, I'd love to find out where they have this speed out here...

I only pay for internet and regularly go over my 300GB/month data cap as well

I live in Cool Springs. I had the 50Mbps service which they recently doubled to 100Mbps (with the same 300GB cap unfortunately). They had been playing advertisements on the radio about doubling speeds and someone in my area mentioned they power cycled their modem and got the new speeds, which worked for me.

I don't have TV or Phone service from them, only Internet. I'm not sure if it's a promo or not, but that's what I've been paying since January 01 when I cut my TV service.

I pay $40 for 3 mbps. Palm Springs, CA, Time Warner. Fios is not here yet. Only cable.
Wow, I spent some time in Palm Desert, CA and I was able to get 20Mbs for about $40 for the summer. Month to month no commitments. (with Time Warner)
