Here are the plans I am working to make available in
2007 for our own subscribers:
5 Mbps / 1 Mbps for $59.99
10 Mbps / 2 Mbps for $69.99
15 Mbps / 3 Mbps for $79.99
20 Mbps / 4 Mbps for $89.99

Hi,
I've said this many times before (starting 5+ years ago when Cable
first came to my area)... if you are going to try and compete on price
alone, you are going to be out of business soon. The CableCo and
Telco's are loosing money on internet services right now, but they

Which is a whole other issue... we still answer EVERY phone call with a
live person... always. No auto attendant. We also don't allow our

Holy cow! Stepped away from the 'puter for a bit and see that everyone's

best effort gear, but others that have commented should know better.
Rick,
No... I don't think that model works... because Joe Surfer sees how fast
this last movie downloaded and decides to grab 3 more while he's at it...
The model of the customer will use what they are going to use and then
get off is not true... imagine if Joe Surfer figures out he can

I have a funny story to share which is along these lines. My son is in
college now at U of I in a fraternity. (President of his Frat I might
