I pay AT&T $30 for a DSL that is only used for backup. The router does auto failover to it when the RoadRunner is down (frequently with our rural poles never within 10 degrees of vertical). The total time it's active per month varies between zero and two days. I'd be willing to pay the $30 (including taxes and fees and corruption) for higher speed or be willing to pay $25 for the same speed. In fact, I'd be willing to pay the same for wireless since here the cable and phone copper are on the same poles...it would give me more reliability. I use Asterisk and link to my office Asterisk so the Internet is really important.
