I called in late June to drop the land line and was told my rate would drop to ~$68 per month, but my internet download speed would be limited to 10 MBPS. That was enough for me.

Switched to Xfinity internet only for $40 per month and I'm reliably receiving 100 MBPS download and 5 MBPS upload.
The service and cost inconsistencies of these providers are amazing. I left Xfinity because my charges were absurdly expensive and I wasn't getting anywhere near your quoted speeds. I switched TO CenturyLink with their twisted pair service for $49 per month. I average around 30 MBPS, which I find is more than adequate for our use.
