Perchance you need to rephrase that to, 'The part of the US I live in,' In places like Washigton DC, it's only marginally more expensive then a normal Dial-Up. In any area serviced by GTE, it's $40/month for net access, and $60/month for the phone line itself. US West use to be $150 month for 200 hours, 5 cents a minute per channel after that. Now, they won't even talk to you about it because 'ADSL is so much better.' Of course prices are going to vary based on what your phone company is able to do, and how much more equipment they have to install.
