It's not cheap, but it's not horrible either. I was checking Speakeasy’s pricing last night and was surprised to see that they’re offering 6Mbps / 768kbps service at my location.

Their 1.5 mbps connection is only half as fast as Comcast in the Bay Area and they're close in price. You might want to consider switching, especially if Comcast has a bundled package. In regards to the article, this is definitely a trend catching on in Europe and hopefully U.S. companies will upgrade their service in the next few years. I know that in Sweden you can get a 10 Mbps connection for the same price as a cable/DSL line here in the states. Om,
