Some company called Mascon just installed high-speed in our area. For fifty dollars a month I have access to a 1mb connection DSL line with a 40gb a month cap. It's totally a bullshit ripoff but it's the only option in our neck of the woods. It could be worse though. The village of Whitecroft (yes, I live in a village that has less than a hundred citizens) only had access 56k up until a couple of months ago.
Mine was 130mbps second once... then the place I moved to (in the center of Brighton... about a mile from where Ilive) has no form of fiber optics whats so ever! Furthermore my phoneline is wank and my would be 24mbps ranges from not connecting at all to speeds a 56k modem would be ashamed of! Getting it fixed next week though, miss my old connection :(
30 Mb/s down, 3 Mb/s up, 350GB/month limit, although if I go over they just charge me the difference (and I do pretty much every month--there are a lot of folks in my house).

whats a road runner?
It's the name of the service from Time Warner in the states. I'm in the North East US and have Road Runner.
This is via wireless from my laptop so I'm not maxing it out (not sure if it is 40/40, 45/45 or 50/50), our ISP are just fucking awesome. They are very helpful if there is anything wrong and easy to get a hold of. There is no cap (never has been), and this started of like 5 years ago or so as a 5/5 line and they have increased the speeds overtime without increasing the price. It is also fiberoptic. I'm so happy I live in a country (Norway) where most (not all) ISPs are sensible.
94.95 Mb/s Download, 12.07 Mb/s Upload, since the beginning of last week. It's a rather nice update to the 2 Mb/s one I used to have...
Haven't really played anything online as of yet, 'cept WoW. But I know that buying Steam games became a lot more tempting, when I can play just about any game on the same day I buy it.
