I used to pay $20 a month for dialup, and another $22-25 a month for a
second phone line (so I wouldn't miss any calls, since - like most of us -
I'm online a LOT). So I was paying $42-45 a month for 56K.
I got DSL in June 2000 (line from Verizon; ISP from DCA); costs me $50 a
month. I had originally signed up for 640K speed, but lately it's been
closer to 786K; they must have upgraded their equipment or something; I
know I didn't ask for a faster plan.
1200%+ speed increase for 11% price increase seems like a reasonable
difference to me. :-)
