Charter Communications
5mbps down, 512kbps up
A little over $60/mo for just that internet
Though honestly our cable bill is fucked beyond belief. We had switched it to my roommate's name a while back to get a special, cept he wanted some cable TV also (we normally just get basic cable since it's like $2 more per month than without) but we never got any deal and it's been fucked since. It inched up to like $90/mo, plus there's late fees and reconnection and I can't make sense of it. So yeah, it is pretty expensive but they are the only cable company. Supposedly someone in the same set of apartment buildings as us has 9 meg DSL, but they don't even offer more than 6 meg, but the DSL might be good. Although, most people get awesome specials from Charter, like $15/mo for 5 meg internet for 6 months... we just get hosed heh.
edit: To Chaotic42 and other Charter customers... we actually paid the $59.99 + tax + modem rental for the 3 down/256k up for a while. It seemed faster than that, so one day when switching over to my name since someone was leaving, I got a statement of the account that say
"Free 5 meg preview until 1/31/2008"
I was like, hell yeah! So we've had it for all this time. But honestly I think both Charter at my parents and at my school don't offer 3 meg anymore; 5 meg is the lowest. So like when they dropped their really slow 384k down service, they upgraded anyone with it to the next speed with no change in pricin. So I think they're doing the same thing this time, for anyone who's seen their Charter doesn't offer 3 meg anymore.
