1GB/sec
$350 a month.
That seems cheap to me compared to our local providers 20MB plan, which is $80. Of course, this market is in the top five of highest cable provider prices in the U.S.

We don't even have a 20MB plan. Is that symmetrical, or one way?
Our local options are:
384kbps/6mpbs $50
512kbps/10mbps $60
Other prices in Chatt:
It supplies 30-megabits-per-second service for $58 a month, 50 megabits for $71 a month, and 100 megabits for $140 a month (as of Monday, down from $175).
Those are symmetrical.

I was happy when I was seeing 1MB/sec downstream on Time Warner, yesterday.
Sigh.

It's 20 MB down, and 1MB up.
I actually looked that up for you and discovered that there's now a 30MB down and 2MB up plan.

Are you serious?

Yep.
Best speed I have noticed in a long while.
I am out in the boonies, though. I couldn't even get a decent digital TV signal over the cable until I reran the entire house with RG6-QS coax, and installed a $60 signal booster where the cable came into the house.
Over the years I have watched my neighbors without cabling knowledge replace their Time Warner cable with the Dish Network.
Which is fine by me.

I've got 7Mbps x 625kbps for $24 a month. Not a bad deal, but no super connection either.
Beats the hell out of 1Mbps, though. Yikes.

'Technology Town' because they signed an exclusivity deal with Brand X that guarenteed Brand X would never need to improve service, ever?
