I had 7/5 here in Seattle, until I made the mistake of trusting the CL
sales turkeys. I ended up with 20Mb down, but 896Kb up. The sales turkey
flat-out lied to me, but they wouldn't revert me - something about my
former plan being an "out of date" class of service.

Well, once you add in my $39 Vonage VOIP unlimited local & long distance
telephone, now I'm at $98 for phone+internet+cable... so you're making out
better than I am (unless you watch TV and are paying for that also).

this semi rural small mountain I live on. But,
I'm happy with it
given my bill is $59 / month with basic TV service (that I don't
use).
Now you've done it. For my phone and internet bundle, I pay
$83/month--and that's with a $15 "lifetime" package discount from 2005
tossed in.
I was amazed that were I to change to the lowest tier of POTS service and
add "Caller ID" ($10/month) and lowest level DSL, my bill would be roughly
the same after taxes. I'm amazed that "caller ID" costs CL anything, but
it's one of the highest-priced add-ons. BTW, I'm also paying $2/month for
long-distance service to Mexico, even though I've never called nor received
a call from there.
Sigh.
