> 1Gbps with unlimited data for $79 a month

Wow, sign me up. Comcast, which has a monopoly on my market, charges me a few bucks more per month, for 150mbps.

I only can use Windstream as the other providers are right on the edge of my area and refuse to move in. I only get “50Mbps” (It's never gone above 45) for $90+ a month, and they have been forever increasing it because well, what choice do we have.
