I haven't been in the access game for a long time, but I honestly don't know how you could sell to even smart "prosumers" these days.

I would love to get a ~50mbps line to my home, from a reliable local ISP with clue. I'd pay around $150/mo for such service, and I'm not one of those guys that runs stuff maxed out 24x7.

There just are no options where I live for that amount of bandwidth other than Comcast. So instead I have my primary comcast line ($120/mo) which is 150/20, and a backup DSL line from USWest/Qwest/Centurylink/whatever they are calling themselves today. I believe that one is 20/2, but it sucks so bad (seriously no 1500 MTU still? sigh.) I rarely use it even for failover anymore. LTE is faster.
