I think Casey's right. I think for small business, this is a good deal. I really don't think that the service (at this price point) is aimed at the consumer market.

My Commercial Cable modem at 4 mb with a static IP only cost 129.95... 69.95 if I wanted a dynamic IP.... Home service is 49.95 for the same bandwith.... A little greedy for the static IP IMHO......

The way capitalism works is new entrants come in at 1 penny less, or some other gimmick to gain market share for awhile. Then sell out to the monopoly. Moore's law was doubling power every 3 years. What percent of the economic gain of Moores' Metcalfs, etc. went to end users? Most of it got efficiently contained within the dominant firms.
