I can't speak to the satellite prices, but that's not at all an unusual 
price for cable internet. I believe Time Warner here in Rochester 
charges $49/month for its Road Runner service if you don't have cable 
TV, and $39/month if you do. Well worth it, as far as I'm concerned, but 
then I need it at home for work, too.
