Residential service is available for less than $60 a month without video, there is a 1mbps/384k tier available. I believe its ~$25/mo.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 11:10 AM, Curtis Griesel <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cwgriesel@gmail.com">cwgriesel@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Comcast has a monopoly on broadband service, and residential service starts at $60 per month. Of course this is not all Comcast's fault, the city council could take a little leadership on broadband access for Bloomington. But I suspect the city is in cahoots with Comcast because they get their community-access cable services and infrastructure from Comcast. I wonder what other benefits the council gets from Comcast that they make us continue to pay Comcast $60 per month for their marginal internet services, but that's the state of affairs right now.<br>
