The speed you have access to is a function of whether you have access to the fiber optic infrastructure or the older copper based DSL. If you have fiber, $45 per month gets you 25 megabits per second download with their new price-for-life pricing structure. This is actually more than sufficient for most people. For example, streaming Netflix at 1080p Hi-Def resolution only needs about 5 megabits per second. You are also not committed to stay at that speed. Higher speeds, such as 40 megabits per second, 100 megabits per second, and 1000 megabits per second (1 gigabit per second), are also available if you have fiber.
