I have Comcast's cable service, and minus the recent DNS cache
poisoning problem, the service has been very good.  It is both
reliable and reasonably priced.  When I signed up for it, it was
$20/month for the first 6 months, then I believe it goes to $47/month.
This is for 3Mb/s down, 256Kb/s up service.
