I had 768/128 for $49.95 a month five years ago. Today I have 3000/768 for $29.95 a month. All with the same ISP.
Funny how competition works.
And which ISP is this? During the 5 years I was with Covad, they "upgraded" the speed a couple times, but I never saw it as I was way on the end of the line from the CO. Then again, I was paying $40/mo for 600/128 DSL.

Now I'm with Comcast, paying $4something for 6000/something. Or I could have went with Verizon for $10 phone line+ $20 for 3/something DSL.

Or get "naked" DSL for $50/mo....

So, yeah they are all about the same price. Some charge less for less speed, some charge more for more speed. So far, I'm very happy with my Comcast cable and Internet - about $5 more than I was paying to DirecTV and Covad and I get cooler features and HD, which would have been a $400 inventment with DTV.
