There is no comprehensive and reliable database of the availability, penetration, speed or price of broadband services in the United States. This is surprising since Congress directed the FCC to "determine whether advanced telecommunications capability is being deployed to all Americans in a reasonable and timely fashion." In the US, DSL generally reaches speeds of up to 1.5 – 3.0 mbps at a price averaging $30 - $50 per month while cable modems generally reach speeds of 3 – 5 mbps for $40 - $50 per month. In Japan, an average connection with a speed of 26 mbps costs about $22 per month. Check out the "Speed Matters" campaign at http://www.speedmatters.org and read up on what policies the US should implement in order to deliver universal, affordable broadband access for everyone.

Heck, I've seen DSL plans cheaper than what AOL charges for dial-up. Well, the cost of dial-up is still more than I ever expected.

The price will come down witgh time and competition. I believe the same thing will happen with Broadband that happened with Dial-up pricing will happen with broadband.
