Faster Internet Coming to Your Home Town?

Doug Mohney pointed out that for $370 a month in the Twin Cities folks can begin to receive 100 megabyte speeds on downloads and 15 meg uploads.

Not everyone needs that. But as someone who enjoys 50/50 from SureWest in Sacramento at my wife’s house I can sure appreciate the thought, but do question the price, but only by a little.

We’re paying roughly $220 dollars for our blazing fast, almost no latency (ping time on speedtest.net 5 milliseconds) this morning which is about the usual, and my test was done via WiFi with at least two other devices connected to the router that were running. For us, it’s worth it, but these kinds of speeds are not for everyone, but are a boon to the work at home type and the large family which has become download intensive. But one things for sure. Get these kinds of speeds at home and VoIP and Video become almost second nature as the upload pipe becomes much more friendly.
