There isn't a great need to go out and get high speed internet service becuase they feel it isn't neccessary. Most people don't download video clips or flash clips like some of us do. You see, the way to get more broadband customers is to make it a need to get around in life. Until then the most an average person would pay is the $21.95 AOL fee a month.
I use pacbell DSL and not only is it cheap (free setup/free installation/free modem $40/month) its reliable (I haven't had to reset my router in over a month) and the speed is great (384Kbps - 1.5Mbps / 128Kbps). They even were giving their clients static dsl modems for a while and thats what some of my friends got, but by the time we got around to buying it they were using dynamic modems.

Unfortunately dsl isn't available anywhere, but I definately recommend it for those who can get it
