  I pay $60 (as part of a Bundle) for 20Mbps/20Mbps FiOS. Super stable, super fast, never slows down....EVER!Same here, although I pay $65/month and that's a price carried over from the early days of 15Mbps/2Mbps. New Verizon customers as of January 2009 pay $70/month, I think. However, if local municipalities would float bonds (or use the Federal "stimulus") to lay local loop fibre to the curb as infrastructure (like roads and sewer), private ISPs would compete to provide Internet access over it and likely bring the price down to the same 100Mbps symmetric for $15 seen in Japan and Korea....

  Neko-san, yes! And now that commercial router/firewall boxes from companies like linksys, netgear, etc. have upnp turned on by default, the end result is inevitable... zero-day delivered via email, and instead of one machine being compromised the entire subnet is opened up by upnp.

  I live in Mexico and I must say I have a national cruzade against slow and expensive broadband. I pay 600 MXP ($46 usd) for telephone and internet (around 25 only for internet) for a 2 Mbps down / 384 kbps up. My ISP is Prodigy Infinitum ADSL by Telmex. Good thing, I have no download limits, and the speed is mostly constant (212 Kb/s down, 30 kb/s up). Sad thing, we don't have any higher speed here in Mexico City. Business connections can only get up to 4 Mbps and it costs around 140 usd. Fiber optics is a...
