There is currently only two ISP's that I am aware of that offer speeds that fast (5mbits down/500kbits up). Bothe are only available in very limited areas.

One is Wide Open West in Denver, in an area measured in blocks. The franchise is being sold, so what the future prices and availability will be is unknown.

The other is Optimum Online, via Cablevision. Available in a very limited area of New York.

Most US cable ISP's cap the downstream at 1.5 to 3 mbits and the upstream at 128 to 384 kbits.
