I am not sure what we pay Charter for internet as part of a TV/Internet bundle. 
Over the last few years they have upgraded the speed a couple of times with no 
increase in rates. No cap on traffic. Speed as of a speed-test a couple of 
minutes ago is 26.62/4.38 Mbps Download/Upload speed. Which = 3.33 / .55 MB/sec 
transfer rate. T2+ IIRC I know I can increase that by moving around a couple of 
walls and 40-50 feet closer to the wifi box. So bandwidth is not that big an 
issue for me. Usually, on a good day, when the stars align ...
