The one place it makes sense is right where I live in SE Aurora.
$14.95 a month buys me no connectivity (DSL not available), and that
hasn't changed in the past 15 years. Extremely doubtful that Qwest
will ever put in any sort of center that makes my neighborhood close
enough to a central facility for DSL. And, since I have no need to run
a server or any of the prohibited services, Comcast (the old slower
variety - never upgraded to super high speed) is just fine for my
needs. Wish it were cheaper, though!
