Speeds of:

70 mbps- $50
200 mbps- 64.99
1gbps- 74.99

So no 500 mbps for $70? I know it's marketing, but its annoying. I have no need for 1gb. And how come they can make such ridiculous jump in speeds for a few bucks?

Because it is extremely rare for someone to actually use that kind of speed, so having a greater speed cap costs the company nothing.

I feel like I'm one of the few people that is really satisfied with my cable Internet company. I pay for 100 (its the lowest package they offer) and often test out at around 300. They are always well above what I pay for. I live in a small ass town of 1,000 people and we are on our own node. My internet feels plenty fast for me.
