Wealthy Suburbs Get Best Broadband Deals

A new study claims that, if you buy a $500,000 home in the burbs, you are more likely to get better deal on broadband than you are if you rent a $500 a month apartment in the hood. I'm not sure I would want the house payment / property taxes on a 500k place just to save $20 on my broadband but that's just me.

Cost per Mbps in the poorer ZIP codes was $31.17 (based on 304 surveys); cost per Mbps in the wealthier ZIP codes was $9.58 (based on 428 surveys). The average monthly bill in the poorer areas was $51.22; the average monthly bill in the wealthier areas was $55.05.
