South suburbs Chicago, IL.

Comcast Cable - 4000/384 - $19.99/month 6 month trial - Looking for 8 mbps/768 kbps @ $53/month when upgrades are done.

Earthlink DSL - 2000/384 - $50/month - used to get 3 mbps but something is wrong with my house phone cable.

Thinking of moving from DSL to Cable.... :confused:

Adelphia So. Cal
3000/128 advertised, but it is really more like 3500/440.
We pay something like $85/mo for it and digital cable tv.

edit: I should add that this is the promotional price, which ends 12/31/05. We are probably going to switch to something else when the time comes.

Adelphia cable. Northeastern Ohio. $31 a month for 4-5mbit down and 55KB up. I was having terrible sync problem for months, switching to a new modem took care of that so I'm pleased with the service again.

Edit:
Speedtest from the Speakeasy link posted earlier:
Last Result:
Download Speed: 3965 kbps (495.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 434 kbps (54.3 KB/sec transfer rate)

Officially: 5mb down, 768kb up.

I just had an Azareus torrent transfer at 2436KB/s, so really 25Mbps.
$91 including cable TV, tax, modem rental, and stupid non-voluntary "virus protection" fee.
