Do they have Verizon FIOS in your area?

It’s worth checking — with the prices you pay, the FIOS would be of comparable price.

Comcast is a LOT faster than Verizon. You do not have to buy phone service from either one. Either ditch hardline service altogether, or, if you must have a land line get magic jack or some low cost VOIP alternative.

It may be hard to believe but not too many years ago, I accessed the Internet with a 2800 baud modem and paid $3.60 an hour for access.

I used to have to disable images so that pages would load faster.

Considering what my friends in England and Europe pay for their BW, which is way more than what I can get (at any price), Americans are getting ripped off.

Those prices are crazy!
I’ve been paying $40 a month for 30Mbs for over a decade.

We have Verizon DSL. Trying to obtain the service we pay for is a constant struggle. They have the absolute worst customer service I have ever seen in my life.

Good luck to you.
