According to my Insight bill, 10.0 service is $31.00, upgrade for
20.0 is $12.00, for $43.00 total. So I would have to pay $ 93.00/
month ? I am currently a basic cable/ phone / internet subscriber.
The upgrade sounds great if you have a real need for it. Thanks for
all the info.

Ben,
I rethought my reply. They are charging an additional $50.00 OVER
the charge the customer is now paying for the 20 meg service, which
when I look on my bill is $10.00 per month. The mailings they
continued to send said this was an "offer" for those that already
had the 20 meg service. I didn't get a card at my office where I
only have the 10 meg.
So my total bill for internet service will be $60.00.

Ben,
Right now they are running a "special" for $50.00 per month but
after that it will be $60.00 a month, according to the rep. I
talked to. Could be it will never be more than the 50.00. One
additional note, the iPhone performed much better with downloads
not much better than before, say around 13.5, BUT the iPhone upload
was over 5.0, just like the computers. Prior the upload on the
iPhone was in the 1.5 range if I remember right.

Insight has just left, the Apple Airport Extreme handles this
fantastically, but I did have a question answered that has always
bothered me. I had wondered if my download speed was 10 meg, or
20 would I really be getting the full usage for unless the site I
visited had an UPLOAD speed close to my download speed then I was
not going to get the benefit of the higher speed?
Today I found that was true. This weekend we took the
grandchildren to the Polar Express train ride in French Lick. I
took a high def. camera and videoed much of the trip, taking over
30 min. at least. I put it together in a 5.5 min. movie last
night and sent to all the children. The file was 505 meg and I
had to use YouSend it to send that large a file.
I was noticing that the upload speed was hovering around the 1.3
that Insight offers with the 20 meg. I sent myself a copy of the
video so I could download it this morning to test the 50 meg.
The best I was getting was 4.3 down, even though I could take
50. I did this with the tech guy still here and my question for
all these years was answered. I AM only going to get what the
site I go to will upload. Makes sense. So where the 50 really
helps is downloading multiple items at the same time, I would be
able to get THEIR maximum output on each of the downloads until I
reached the 50 max.
Hmmmmm, lots of idle time for the downloads until these vendors
increase their upload speeds.
He also said that by next year they will offer fiber to the home,
with 100 meg download speeds. Once in the home they will offer
to install the fiber to the various rooms, but for a home like I
have they can't for there isn't an exposed beam anywhere other
than the furnace room. The NEXT thing they will offer in a
couple years or so will be fiber to their router, that that uses
wireless to send the very high speeds throughout the house, hope
Apple is ready for this one when it gets here.
He said that with my Apple TV I would notice a difference in the
downloads (I guess, if Apple can push more than 1 or 2 meg
download speeds) and he said the gamers love the 50, but I am not
a gamer.
I tested the speed with Speedtest.net and sure enough I am
hitting right at 50 down and 5.2 up. At least when I am sending
a large file I will notice a difference because I am the one with
the faster upload speed.
