I'm getting 20 Mbps, paying $50 a month. I would get "up to" 50 Mbps, but need to buy a new Docsis-3 modem, $50. I'm not convinced I need anything faster than 20.

Update:
when the installer came, i asked him to drop my speed to 50/50 instead of the 75/75 i had ordered. he took off 10 dollars from the price (i had paid 5 bucks to upgrade to 75/75!). So, now i'm paying $39 out the door, for 50/50 mbps.

I am with comcast:
Blast! Internet Service - $100 the whole bill, I don't even watch cable so Internet alone is $70.
Actual speed:
40.76 mbs download
12.23 mbs upload.

I hate Comcast, but don't have FIOS available .

ooppss and I get 25 mbps up on TWC. it's wonderful to be able to download a 40 gig file in under 10 minutes vs it being an all night project

How much do you need to get HD streaming from netflix and such ? 25 mbps service does not always give you 25. So if your streaming you need more.

Go to Speedtest.net and find out how much you are really getting.

Our county has the most expensive public internet in the area.

It is 100mbps service (actual measured is 94.5 mbps) for $45/month. The local county has made the decision that internet service has to pay the actual operating costs. They have forgiven the capital costs to put in the fiber system.

The other counties around us have cheaper, faster internet.

25Mbps is full real HD as in from a Blu ray disc. Netflix's "superHD" <cough, cough> might be like 6Mbps.

NF lists it as 7 Mbps, so pretty close.
