I'm thinking of joining the 21st century sometime soon. How much should I expect to pay?

60 bucks here, but that's with basic cable so I can watch the NFL. Now that it's over, I'll be canceling basic cable and upgrading to a higher speed. It's at 5mbps right now. I'm a-gonna bump it up to 8 and still pay the same, with no cable.
I'm awesome.

I'm sure you can get it from somebody for about 30 bucks a month unless you live out somewhere where there isn't alot of competition.

$60 per month for 800 KBytes/Sec transfers.
Of course, I live in a mansion surrounded by sexy women all day, so I can easily afford it.

Me too.  It's not 100% reliable, but it saves me $50+ a month. Besides, if I can't get online for a day, it's really a blessing.
Thank you o' generous mystery connection.

well i checked yellowbook.com and there ended up being quite a few entries, but most of them were for networking solutions, and i didn't feel like googling each and every company name to figure out if they were an ISP or a networking solution company.

Check with your local cable service provider - they usually offer Internet service as well. If not, then you can look into DSL.

right, i already have internet through the local cable service provider (roadrunner via time warner cable). but i want to know what other services are available in the area and see how they compare. mainly because i've hear through word of mouth that TWC is going to change their pricing plan over to a pay-per-amount-dloaded kind of thing, and i REALLY don't want an ISP contract like that.
