JohnR,
Although im not sure if i asked you this in the past but............is it a set fee for a certain speed? Or does the provider charge you more for a faster bandwidth if you choose to do so?

The standard speed in the Uk is 512 down and 256 up on a contention ratio of 50 - 1, which is approx £25.00 a month (Depends on isp) For 512 i pay £22.50 if i wanted a contention ratio of 20 - 1 then it would be £60.00... If i wanted 1024 down its £95.00 and for 2048 its a massive £140.00 a month all are with upload speed of 256.
There are cable providers but i don't know there costs but the fastest speed wise is 1 meg..
I finally took the plunge
Just purchased a Dell Dimension 4400. It has a 1.7 GHZ processor Pentium 4 and 256 M Ram. Connected to Cable it flies. Great machine! First venture into XP. Seems like they are trying to take away our freedom of manipulation.
