I would guess for the vast majority of the population, 25Mbps is perfectly acceptable. That's what we have. Surfing the web and watching Netflix doesn't take that much bandwidth. Start streaming multiple Netflix shows and maybe it starts to get dicey, but we've never had a problem.

yeah, couple years ago I switched from 100mb FTTC to a somewhat cheaper adsl2+ because latency and packet loss is more important to me, I guess lot other gamers feel the same way.
I don't understand what you mean. $50 is cheaper than $80. It's not hard to sell someone on cheaper. That extra $360/yr is nothing to scoff at, at least for me. Next, you gotta ask yourself if the extra speed and cost of $30/mo is worth Comcast & Verizon's terrible customer service [0]. Then, you gotta think about if you even need more than 25M (my household does not) and if you're paying extra for something you're not using.
0 - I've had Comcast show up unannounced and started drilling holes in my house front. Comcast customer service couldn't confirm this crew worked with the company and suggested I call the cops on them...
