I pay for 35mbps/35mbps which about is 3.5 megabytes per second, and I get what I pay for, no fluctuation up and down, consistent connection.
they offer their insane plans (500mbps+ I think), which blow away a lot of things. I'm not a gamer nor do I need it that fast at the moment. 35mbps is enough to stream FLAC and do a lot of other things. I also get consistent HD video when video conferencing, that is where a higher upstream matters. Amazon HD movie streams work fine, everything is golden. No buffering, no peak times, everything just flies by with my setup.
bill is $140 a month with landline with all the bells and whistles. I've had it over a decade now, I was very spoiled early on.

You must have TV service/cell phone with your Verizon plan. I just renewed my 15/5@ $85 and got the "we've got a great offer for you"spiel and now have 50/50 for a few bucks less. It does include the landline.
Ran a couple of the speed test sites and the laptop does seem to perform better.
I maybe one of the few who run an antenna to the plasma! Beautiful picture for FREE! Not a power user of PC/TV
35Mb/s is actually 4.375MB/s which is pretty good.

I'm on the North Coast of NSW and subscribe to the fastest available in my area.
I am in a rural area and it is nothing like what you get.
However if I moved about 15km into town I can get; 100Mbps download and 40Mbps upload. (which is supposedly coming to my address)
But I currently get;

the satellite options are good, just saying.
there are a lot here, also north in Canada, there are a lot of satellite internet options.
my dream is to move to a rural area where I can smoke my old man tobacco pipe (the kind your grandfather might have smoked) and sit on a deck and look at the trees with satellite internet paying my bills.
... I had satellite 15 years ago when all that was available here was dial-up.
I got rid of the satellite when ADSL became available. So now the fixed wire ADSL is faster than the available satellite.
Apparently faster cable is on its way to my address. Which may mean within the year I should be able to hook up to 100Mbps download and 40Mbps upload which will be a big help here.
Cheers.
