The bandwidth cap sucks, but compared to DSL, that's a great deal for 10MBps. In Cambridge, MA we were paying Speakeasy more than that for 1.5MBps. <rant topic="speakeasy"> It turned out to be terrible, but our contract locked us in for a year... and we moved to a new town in 10 months. Free markets are great, contracts are fine, but in our situation, we simply didn't have any competitive options to choose from. Also, the assumption of "perfect knowledge of the marketplace" was violated because we didn't know how severely non-premium the service would be. Speakeasy happens to be the worst ISP I have dealt with -- ever. Their support were competent, but customer service was terrible. They had a system-wide outage during the US Inauguration ceremony. Their prices, as I already mentioned, were very high, but we agreed to the contract under the assumption that we were paying for premium service. In contrast, I can't say enough good about sonic.net, which is a California Bay Area ISP. I'm currently very satisfied with Teksavvy, who are an Ontario ISP. Speakeasy, though... Avoid them. It's the free market in action. If you're in MA, and specifically in the Boston area, be aware... </rant>
