Or, if you're a gamer,
you could try "Need for Speed".

I was downloading a file from http://www.sharecg.com and it started out over 9,000KB or about 70 Mb.
The speed keep droping fast but seeing to it start out like that was like wow wish it would stay that way. If it was a smaller file I would of never seen anything.

I honestly don't know what service level I'm paying for. I've been paying around $45 a month since I first got cable Internet access back in 2000 or 2001 or so. Over the years, the speed has just increased with the huge increases coming within the past 2 years.

I'm paying $50/m for 10M download/1M upload. It's not bad at all. There is absolutely NO competition around here, so that price is quite small.

The highest "competition" around here is a DSL ISP offering 5M service for about $60/Month. (Which isn't even competition at all)

I'm paying $45/mo for my 15mbit/2mbit connection here. Truthfully, I can't imagine what I'd do with faster downloads, though I'd like the 5mbit upload service.

This is the highest package my Cable ISP has got:

  • Up to 25 Mbps download speed
  • Up to 1 Mbps upload speed
  • 150 GB/month data transfer

Sadly, that costs $100/m. Which is out of my price range...

150gb of data transfer should be enough for most folks. I'm sure I don't come close to that, though my service is unlimited. I have downloaded 20-30gb in a day, but that's an unusual day. I was doing mass downloads from MSDN of DVD images.
