In the same time frame (1998), I was paying $35/mo. for 10Mbps. I was luckily living in the West Seattle pilot project, and was unthrottled. It was extremely painful when I moved to the other side of Seattle and had to go back to dialup because there was no cable there. Now I'm paying $45/mo. and getting 16Mbps, so really, I'm just staying even.

Breading zone? I'd like my HELL Deep Fried, please.
