349.99/mo for residential gigabit service. As for businesses, I couldn't get listings for that, but per my original information, that is also cost prohibitive.

Their "30" plan (I'm guessing that means 30mbps) is just as expensive as my much faster cable offerings from comcast.

I stand by my original statement.

I won't argue with you that your salary in any way disputes the average open source salaries in that area and their general absurdity.

Comcast's plans aren't synchronous though. Their 30Mbps package ("Blast!") runs $72.95/mo, but that's using "PowerBoost" which means it's not 30Mbps and only has an upload rate of ~4Mbps.

The 30Mpbs up and down package in Nashville costs $57.99. It's a deal. All their packages are, 100Mbps up and down for $139.99 is great. FiOS's fastest package is 150/35 and runs $199.99/month.

Update: You also save with packages. It's actually cheaper to get the phone service (1Gbps drops from $349.99 to $317.99) and the TV isn't much more.

Curious, do you get the actual speeds that comcast tells you you're buying? EPB Chattanooga was the first ISP I had that actually gives me what I pay for..
