I'm not going to tell you I have "broadband" because it's easier for "crackers" to try and penetrate my firewall-protected network.... Ooopss... I just DID tell you....

OK...

$39.95/month 768/128 aDSL Ameritech-SBC

Free Modem and installation; the technician just wandered around installing the internal wiring from the new jack panel to the other side of the basement and had ME install the NIC and the software... some FREE installation.... LOL....:D

$19.95/mo for AT&T RR, here in southeast Florida. You know, the place where Elian Gonzalez is worshipped, and the masses cannot read an election ballot.
BTW, free installation and free modem. Competition is a wonderful thing.........

I pay $49 for Time Warner Roadrunner. 2mbit down/400kbit up and its pretty consistent. I'm not a cable subscriber so I pay $10 more.

I pay 49.99 a month for my Earthlink, 1.5 down DSL. For the most part it's pretty good, but I've recently had some slowdowns. :|
