Most internet users are not concerned with what their service is called as long as it allows them to do what they want when then want. They are satisfied if they have an email service, the ability to browse web sites and to be able to download the odd file. The 150 / 256 / 300 services are ideal for this type of customer and ideal for the ISP. Why would an ISP concentrate on providing faster and faster services for the comparitive few users who will probably cause them the most problems. So, yes, price is everything for most users.

This scenario will change in the future when much faster speeds are available with TV like streaming media and at a price that is right.
