I included a link to one of our providers, is this cheap to you guys?

No not cheap, we have cable where I am at. DSL is much slower. Both do not limit your service and your speed is only limited by the demand put on the lines.
I have property just 45 miles from the city and if we wanted service there it would either be dial up or satellite. In town there are several providers and they are very competitive, which is good for us.

Those plans look similar to what we might expect to see with wireless services. Although my iPhone I pay $30 a month for unlimited service I have an older plan, it is my understanding the company did away with unlimited service and now charges usage fees on new phones. My brother bought an iPad about 6 months ago, his grandson wanted to see a movie off of iTunes so he rented it. By the time it downloaded and was available his rental time expired, and then he got a $139.00 bill for his usage. He was mad because he didn't even get to watch the movie.
