I've got the $27.99 6Mb package, for what it's worth.
You pay $50 for the modem up front, but you get it back in a mail-in rebate. Speeds are pretty close. DSL (though any company) has an overhead, but you'll see probably 130 KB/s download speeds. I get around 550 KB/s normally. |

I got it last year but it was a few dollars more. I've been pretty satisfied with it. The download speed is awesome compared to dial-up and wireless is nice with the 2WIRE router.

I recommend the Pro package. If you watch a lot of streaming video it's worth the extra bucks. You can always downgrade after your year is up if you want to.

but I can't imagine downgrading from 5 mbps to 1.5. The price is great but when you have been on broadband for awhile you will want a faster connection.
