well here in ames basic service is only 256kbits/sec, only ~5 times as fast as a 56k modem, its only $40 a month, but they sell the modem for $400 or so, quite a rip off, hopefully if g.light takes off, modem prices will be as low as ethernet cards/regular modems, then the service would be much more atractive
you can get 786k/sec or somthing like that, but it costs quite a bit more, and I think it's worth it.
