Well, I could get a slower package for $10 a month (512 down, 256 up) but I share with my girlfriend and it's just not enough when she's watching her Taiwanese shows and movies online and I'm trying to play a game.

    Right around $32 a month for Fiber.

    Great ISP, very small company.

    Its $1 for every gigabyte that you go over your 20GB bandwidth "limit"
    These are my speeds right now:

    And wait one minute, now its:

    Its usually in-between 20-60MBPS for the download, and 8-20MBPS up. It varies a lot.

    So, if you pay $29.95/mo., that does not actually fit into any of the categories.
    Why couldn't that go into the $20 - $30?  Maybe my calculations are wrong, but I'm pretty sure $29.95 is between $20 and $30.
    OK, bad example.  But, look at the first two categories: $19 or less, and $20-$30.  Where does an amount between $19.01 and $19.99 go?

    Well, fear not, for I remembered that I can edit polls!  It now has a place to go.  I also added an extra category for $30 to $39.99.  It doesn't look as nice now, but it should accomodate everyone.  And if Nathan wishes to do so, I believe he may be able to rearrange the options without screwing up the votes.

    Oh, see Chris, now we all have to re-vote :P

    I really love and hate my ISP. Horrible bandwidth caps, great service.

    In fact, all the other Fiber ISP's on the SAME fiber network have slower services. Thats why we stick with them. I'm not giving up 40MBPS just so I can have a speed of 1-8MBPS with no bandwidth...

    Only if you need to change your price.  My vote stays the same, so I'm good to go.

      ~$25 for DSL from Embarq.  DSL speed is rated at 1.5Mbps download, 384Kbps upload.  Faster speed is available for more money.

      BTW, the money categories in the poll may have some people wondering what category belong in.  Many services are probably priced at $24.95/mo., $29.95/mo., etc.  So, if you pay $29.95/mo., that does not actually fit into any of the categories.  The solution:
      <$20
      $20 - $29.99
      $30 - $39.99
      etc.

      I just noticed something else regarding dollor categories.  There's a gap between $30 and $40.  The categories show:
      ....
      $20 - $30
      $40 - $50
      ....
       

      I checked the website and noticed that Embarq internet services is not avaliable in california do you know why soybean?
