60 dollars a month for 12Mbit/second down burst is a pretty decent price IMO. It was the same price (maybe a LITTLE cheaper) with timewarner for 6Mbit max down. I'm about to upgrade to their premium or whatever package and get the 8MBit-12Mbit down with a higher upload for 15 dollars more which would put me at about 60 dollars. I also like the fact that my IP is more or less static, the same as it was with Timewarner. As long as my power doesn't go out or my cable doesn't go out (which has happened ONCE in the past 7 years I've had it) then my IP stays the same.

It sounds like you already have the expensive package... you could downgrade to the $42 + modem rental service and save some money. Or it could be more in your area, I have no clue. Regardless for the performance (ie. 1 megabyte downloads I frequently get) I'm happy paying 50 dollars right now.

I also like the fact that they upgrade your PVR (if you obvioulsy already have the service) to an HD PVR with twice the hard drive space for free and give you local HD channels with Discovery HD for free... to me that's pretty pimp.
