Your DSL is slow. FiOS is 10/2 with a contract. OOL is $45 with no contract.
Whether CV is faster or has free included WiFi is irrelevant to me, as I can't afford $540 per year for their service.

I don't want faster, I want cheaper.

Then your DSL should suit you well. It's cheap but it's not fast. Problem is, DSL around here is neither cheap nor fast...starts at $40/month for a 1.5 connection!

It does. $32/month for 3 Mbps / 768 kbps. That's fast enough. I can download a movie in a little over a half hour. I have no need for anything faster.

Re: When Free means Fee!

In which case I applaud your thrift. I like watching movies streamed from my own router-attached hard disk, or maybe backing stuff up online, or downloading large MP3 albums (for the college radio station I work at). So basically I take all the speed I can get, as long as the rice is below, oh, $70 a month. I also use VoIP over the connection, and the savings of VoIP alone pays for some of that conection cost.
