They must have competition. Otherwise, these prick companies will keep it as low as they can while trying to steal as much money as possible.

I think they might have done it because there is an inside scoop that qwest (and some other DSL providers) are/is coming out with 3Mbps DSL for pretty cheap...

$45 a month, for 1.5 Mbps (advertised as 2.0 Mbps)

They can do this, only because there's essentially no competition. If there's a hint that Cox, or whomever, is coming to town, I guarantee their service will improve. To no avail, because I'd sign up with Cox immediately.

 Smile  Well I only speak from my own experience....and in Tucson Cox>HSI Broadband is way better than any DSL here,frequent crashes and very slow speeds on all DSL that I have seen(again Tucson)most of my friends have gone to Cox after seeing it on my system.... I dont work for Cox, but I have never had any problems and to get anything for free in this day and time is a good thing in my book, I pay $39.95 per month for 3000/256 and I have always been faster than that ,and NOW Im much faster so Im happy.AOL dial up is over $20.00 a month...and of course any dial up sucks big time!!

Comcast is capped at approx. 3.1Mbps for the $45/month in the Philly area but at least they doubled it recently from the 1.5mpbs. for the same pice. I'am jealous Smile of you Cox users getting 4,5 & 6Mbps downloads.  As Jim Carey would say GUUUUD  Alrighty Then  Smile
