From what I can see, under their new heading of always on FASTACCESS Internet ADSL service, too much. They don't seem to be offering lower grades than the full 1.5 at this time. The pricing shown below is for their 1.5 Mb/s down, and 256 kb/s up, variant. If they had a 768 kb/s down, and 128 kb/s up, for $29.95 per month, I think it would be more reasonable, and would take off fairly well. At these rates, I have my doubts.
By the way, there is no mention, that I could detect, of the more exotic speeds and formats which were mentioned in the release. ADSL is the only service of the lot that they are showing, for now.
