Satellite and some DSL are still significantly higher priced than cable Internet in some areas.
In my small town, they both cost the same or double cable, yet their upload/downloads are much less.
Right now, my cable is 4Mbps at $39.95. Phone company DSL offers 250Kbps up to 3Mbps and they won't even publish their rates on their website. Their 'package deal' (lowest speed) starts at $25/month. Satellite that I've checked range from $49 to $79 for about 1Mbps.
Cable here still has them beat. And comparable basic extended cable is about $5 more per month than the satellite deals. The cable combination for TV and Internet is still significantly less than satellite.
