I got road runner in 1997 and I believe it was 3 meg then. Now it is 6.5 meg and the price went up 2 dollars, to $46.95. I dont have any other service with Time Warner. I have DirecTV and Vonage which beats the bundle by about $20.00. The quality is better with satellite, Vonage I don't care and the bandwidth is the best in the area. If someone would offer a 50 meg deal I will probably jump on it. Greensboro, NC will probaly take some years to really see competition. It will have to be AT&T with Uverse.

Of course, everyone would like it priced to zero, but that's not viable unless the gov't helps in a big way.

Is it just me, but aren't all of these companies enjoying record profits. Is "holding the line on price" really a challenge? I doubt it. forgive me, but i’m a little skeptical of these phone and cable companies crying about broadband pricing. Is it just me, but aren’t all of these companies enjoying record profits.
