   Yeah we have a High Speed option from a tower 'cross the lake', maybe   
   $50/month, for 100Gb then extra over that, seems like the price is ok   
   if it's useful to ya, but it's not to us, 600/yr for something we won't   
   use much more that LAN line.   
   Advertising keeps social site stock sky high selling you need sumfink,   
   which in turn generates need for higher speed so you can down load   
   commercials without TV. As the wonder-site ad revenue slips then add   
   more ads, you add more Band Width for watered down content.
