[Uaflug] Cost of Internet service within the Lower 48

[Erik Gregg]

That's some nice internet.  I have Comcast in Maryland, and I pay
about $71.30 per month for 20Mbit down/8Mbit up.  I haven't had a
single problem at all, even on months I go over 200GB.  The $71.30
quote includes basic cable as well, but I don't watch it.  It turns
out that getting basic cable with this internet package is actually
cheaper than the package by itself.  I hope you guys get something
decent someday...

Here are Comcast's plans:

Performance (up to 15 Mbps downloads with PowerBoost®)  $19.99/month
for 6 month(s), then $42.95/month
Blast!® (up to 20 Mbps download with PowerBoost®) (what I have) $52.95/month
Ultra (up to 30 Mbps download with PowerBoost®) $62.95/month
Extreme 50 (up to 50 Mbps download) $139.95/month

But considering the 200GB cap and the rarity that you'll see full
speed from a site, it's not really all that useful to go above
20Mbits.

Just my 2 cents.
