OK.. perhaps I'm missing something obvious here, but...  Why?  $78 for
unlimited 256Kbps internet sounds fairly reasonable to me. $259 install
(12 month contract) sounds reasonable given that it includes the "modem".

Sure, prices will probably drop over time, but to me this seems a very
reasonable first step.
