Dial up is typically 56 kilobits per second. So, 75 megabits per second is actually 3 orders of magnitude faster. Unless you are moving large files around, say 10s to 100s of gigabytes, then 75 megabits per second is usually more than enough. Streaming 1080p only consumes about 5 megabits per second. I believe most people pay for much more bandwidth than they require.

I was just quoted to keep just my internet @ 300Mb, it would cost me $96.00 per month.
