I had something similar with CenturyLink. They were the only provider where I lived at the time, and they charged $60/month for 500kbps down. When Comcast started to run cable up my road CenturyLink went bonkers and sued until Comcast just stopped.
Now I pay Ziply $35/months for 8Mbps down, and while that's still sad it feels lightning fast after CenturyLink.
