Re: Let the price wars begin.

About 4 years ago $50/month got you 512-768kbps with 128 up. No many places have speeds of 3.0-6.0M/~512kbps for that same price or just slightly more.
Even though VOIP is cheaper than a plain POTS line I think there are too many problems with stability and service to try that road. Hopefully this news is an indication that making a VOIP as solid as POTS with a cheaper price is on the horizon.

Where is this magical world where competition exists? I've lived in Houston, Austin, and now Dallas and everywhere I've lived I've had ONE company to choose from for my service. That means crappy speeds, crappy service, and high prices. Right now I'm paying $49/month for Grande Communications DSL... 1.5Mbps down/384Kbps up. My digital cable is pretty limited, especially in the HD department.
