Nobody needs 70 mb&#x2F;s for basic internet access. I think the cheap lower&#x2F;end is 20-30 &#x2F;month.  I pay $30&#x2F;month for 50 mb&#x2F;s and it works just fine for HD streaming videos.<p>I would love higher BW but while I could afford it I already have my own cable modem and to upgrade would need to get special equipment from my ISP, which I would have to lease and deal with the inconvenience of giving back at one of their far away locations.  It&#x27;s been annoying the past so decided to pass.<p>But for anyone who is price sensitive doubling&#x2F;tripling their internet bill is a non-starter.
