in search of cheap broadband; phone, TV optional

I have an internet-only RCN plan.  Oddly enough, I don't see the 5/1
service that I have on their website.  Anyway, these are the plans:

I'm on a $20/month 5/1 plan for a few more months.

They offered me a 1.5/.5 plan for $16/month when I called last year, but it 
required a 12 month commitment.  I'm not sure if it's still available.  I
suspect if you call in and talk to a sales rep, you'll get better
information than using the website.
