What a joke. I don't know about other areas, but where I live DSL runs about $60 a month. Cable is less, but it ends up being the same because the local monopoly forces us to bundle it with the basic cable TV service.

Frankly, I doubt these FCC numbers. They appear inflated.

They are true numbers, I've read private numbers that are close to this.

My cable modem cost $39.95/month. Without their cable service it's $44.95/month. I was on dial-up with Compuserve for $24.95/month.

The $15 extra per month I pay is SO worth it over dialup. Especially since I'm a news junkie, write a lot, and can work more from home.

Even if some dial-ups are only $9.95/month, the extra $30 is STILL worth it. It's light years difference!

And hopefully the true conservatives in Congress will unregulate this broadband mess Billy Tauzin (RINO) and some liberal Dem has created by sucking up to AT&T. Fortunately it didn't work and AT&T finally sold their broadband, and thus the reason for the regulation they sought protect their billions, to Comcast.

Comcast is actively increasing market share and upgrading technology. Soon, the prices will come down or the service will expand greatly.

If your area is so much higher in cost, it's obvioulsy the added regulation from your state, not the Fed's. Write your Governor.
