I'm not sure if everyone with this kind of speed is getting wallet rapes as much as I am, but I currently fork over $54.00 a month for 5mb/384kb from Time Warner. They are the only game in town (a small, small town) besides Verizon.
On the bright side, Verizon here offers an exciting 256k/256k DSL connection for 45 dollars a month (plus $20/month for the line, and 15 bones more for the "circuit connection" a month, oh and taxes and fees) so total I have the option of what I have now or something like 80 bucks a month for a land line I won't use and slow as snails internet.
If only the FCC would have maintained that internet connections were common carriers, we could have a cornucopia of small town providers cutting throats for customers. Instead we have a handful of nation wide telcos telling consumers what they are going to pay. So sad.
