how fast is your internet? how much does it cost?

[super]

just curious as to the cost and speed in different parts of the world.

i pay CAD $25 (USD $22 18 EUROS) for a 2mbps/768k dsl connection. and i had to buy the modem and line filters seperately.

[krusbjorn]

10 bucks per half year. 100mbit/s up and down. Gotta love how dormnet is connected to the apartments throughout the city ;)

Normally though, prices here are around 30-40 USD/month for a 24mbit/s line.

[towsonu2003]

isp tru university, 4K/S (dial up) on average as conky says - no fee for students...

see first link in my signature post #3 for DSL prices in Turkey.

[jm2003uk]

I have 1Mb Unlimited for £15.99 a month. Only 128k upload tho but that isn't a prob for me.

[engla]

I'm in a very favourable contract right now; I have 100Mbit/s for ~5€/month, living in a very large student campus.
[ISP: bredband2]

[xequence]

I pay 45$ a month canadian and get 375KBps download and 100KBps upload. (In ISP terms that is 3Mbit download and 800Kbit upload)

Upload matters ALOT to me, as I am almost constantly uploading. If I remember correctly... I have had a torrent running for 24 hours and ive uploaded almost 7GB.

Download also matters, but not as much. Id have 275KBps download and 200KBps upload instead if I could :P

I saw on another site this guy who has 155MB upload. Not 155Mbit, but 155Megabytes per second. Under his avatar it said "Over one terabyte (TB) uploaded in under 50 hours!"

I get 6 mbit/sec from the local cable co. But I'm paying USD $45/month for it. The good news is that it's pretty solid at 6 Mbps - sometimes even better.

[Kvark]

100Mbps both ways and 300GB transfer limit for 34€/month, living in a normal appartment.

I have a OCR-3 Connection. 1024Mbps down, 768Mbps up. Only $30 a month. :)

[gravediggers]

Currently am paying AUD$35 pm for 512K/128K with 8GB free download. from reading the earlier posts, it seems the cost here is a little higher on average than North America and Europe. (and I'm on what is considered a value for money plan in the local broadband forums).
I am thinking about taking up an offer for AUD$50 pm that will give me up to 20Mbps download with 20GB free, but it means I have to give up my current phone connection.

[xequence]

Gravediggers, how do you live with only being able to download or upload 8 GB a month? O_O

It sucks when you're downloading a television series, but I can download the same amount again for free after 2am, and it's only $3 per GB extra.

One ISP charges 15c per kB excess (which is $150 per GB!!). A guy I know downloaded a F1 Grand Prix that he had missed on TV and it cost him $650! LOL!
It would have been cheaper almost to fly there!

[WildTangent]

My parents pay $45 CAD for 640kbit up, 5 mbit down cable, with a 15 GB cap. I'm not sure what the rate for exceeding it is...but last month I was 73 GB over the cap (because of my brothers filesharing) and we only got charged about $5 extra. I'd like to get a higher upload rate...but the next best package (which costs $15 more per month) only increases the upload to 1 mbit.

-Wild

[TTT_travis]

515k/515k $40 a month, I'm in the US. Just really overpriced internet in my town. you'd think though with 3 companies around there would be competition but they never change prices. been the same for 4 years.

[midwinter]

AU$13 a month for 56k :) I usually do over 5GB, i'm kind of used to dialup now. It really doesn't bother me as much as it should..

[Buffalo Soldier]

1024kbps download, 386kbps upload. RM88.00 a month. To put things in perspective the price for a single BigMac here in Malaysia cost around RM5.50 and the starting sallary for a fresh graduate engineer is RM1600.00

I guess we still have a lot to improve on the broadband service here.

*drools when reading about other's bandwidth*

[mstlyevil]

I am paying $25.95 a month for DSL with 1.7 Mb down and 440 Kb up. I could get around 1.3 Mb down and 256 Kb up for 15.95 a month but the extra speed is worth the extra 10 dollars to me.

[Jason_25]

I am in NC and pay $70/month for premium cable 8mb down and 512kb up. I can get a steady 10 mb :-D

Is that Cox cable? That is exactly the service they offer here in OKC for the same price.

[Leo_01]

i am paying about 60 SGD (about 30 USD)
Up : 6.5 Mbps

the speed seems good only in paper...:(
the speeds is real bad when it is downloading from a server NOT located in Singapore...:(

[Jeffery Mewtamer]

98 USD per semester.

1 Megebyte per Second up(I uploaded more then 2 Terabytes on Bittorrent during my first semester)
Don't know the down stream(and couldn't care less, as I only get good download speeds via HTTP, and I do most of my downloading via BT).

[byen]

I currently pay US$30 for a 6mbps cable internet. After 9months it would cost me 44$ for the same..and the speed is pretty consistent so no complaints!

[cvcaelen]

Please, don't laugh:mrgreen:

I pay 2 Euro's per month and I get (at home)

[public_void]

I have a 10Mbps connection thats included with my uni accommadation. But because of the cofiguration of the network, it can get slow with many people. But them again when its quiet, I downloaded the Ubuntu CD in under 30 minutes.

Next year its a downgrade to 512Kbps when I move out. But it beats my 56Kbps dial-up at home.

[ap9er]

~50US a month for 2mbs/128kbs for 40GB on peak, and 40GB off peak. (From New Zealand.)
It's fast enough for me as I don't use torrents much, and really only go through about half of my cap. Good to have a saftey net, however.

[kairu0]

Yahoo! 50mb/s ADSL here in Japan for roughly 50$ per month.

[nocturn]

I have a cable connection

It costs 45 EURO a month. I get 500-600 kbps downstream maximum, upstream is really slow.

It is capped at 10GB/month of which only 1.5 can be upstream.

[Lovechild]

I believe I have 2048/512 and I pay around 50$ a month

[i.herteleer]

Currently (in Belgium) 4mbps down/ 256kbps up, 10GB cap = 25Euros/month

Previously: (Ecuador)
At first: Supposed broadband @ 7.5KBps download, who knows what miserable upload (less than 2 KBps im sure), no cap tho: $80/month (can you believe that?!?!? what a rip-off, lucky my parents payed tho :P ).
Later: radio-wave broadband @ max 90KBps, bad upload, no cap = $72/month. Big improvement, but it was unreliable due to being radio-wave, so it turned off quite regularly. Also, pings to US were about 200-300, so no use at all for online gaming

@School (for about 40comps) the connection was about 25KBps shared between all of them. Imagine what hell it was just trying to search something on google if more then 4 other people were on :P

[bonzodog]

Ireland has the second highest broadband rates in Northern europe.

lets see... I pay €29.95 per month for a 1MB/sec down and 128k up service. No email or webspace. That is one of the lowest rates in Ireland. Most people in Ireland have to rely on wireless wifi networks, like Irish Broadband or Smart Telecom. They both charge €30-€40 per month and you have to bolt an aerial onto your house. We are actually getting ISP's and telcos pulling out and selling up here as they have decided that the potential userbase of 1.5 million people in the whole country isn't worth it.

[yorick]

I have a pretty good connection for Romania. I don't know exactly what the speed is, but in Azureus (which I use mostly) the speed is max 60k up and down (in the early morning), but is stays mostly at 20k up/down. I don't have a download limit.
I pay about 18 euro/month.

I just switched from £19.99 a month for 2Mb down 256k up with a 10G cap (£1 a gig over the cap) to £24.99 a month at same speed but a 30 gig cap.

actually i just did a speed test and my actually speed is 2.4mbps! :D
probably because the dsl transmission station is only about 300m from the front door of my apartment.

i am so jealous of all you people with 10+ mbps connections. the speed test said the average internet speed for people in ontario, canada is 1.4mbps. :neutral:

South Africa:

This excludes a DSL modem/router, I choose to buy my own. You are forced to have a phone service in order to have DSL & this does not include any normal voice call charges which still have to be added to the bill

Talk about being ripped off !!!

I would like to take this oppertunity to send a polite "F_ck you" to Telkom SA Ltd. Soon to feature in a new production called "The Rape of a Country"...

[Garyu]

In Umeå, Sweden (north) we have almost monopoly from a company called Kommunicera (allied with Satan himself). Worthless service and only 12 GB/month transfer before extra fees come into effect, but at 10 Mbps ethernet jack in the wall and a 50% student discount this puts me at 20€ setup cost and then 14€/month, which I guess is OK but not good.

Before, SUNET (swedish university network) was providing all of the network connections, so we used to have 10 Mbps without any restrictions for FREE (as in free beer), no setup cost, no monthly fees. But that ended 2 years ago when Kommunicera came in and ruined it all. :evil:

[tekwarren]

Home: using wireless broadband from the local ISP. My individual connection is not limited in any way other than that the bridge on my end is 802.11b only (11Mbps). I have a paraboloic antenna on my roof and the ISP has two towers of which I'm pretty much in the middle but much closer to the one I use. My connection is steady and stable with excellent speeds up and down. I ran my web server from home for a few years on the connection before I started doing hosting for others.

My cost: $0 I was a former employee of the ISP and I am considered a "test site" so I help with changes and reporting of issues and am usually the first to experience a possible change that is to take place and determine if it is successful or not. So basically I don't really have to jack but complain when my speeds or slow, the connection is down, and once and while do some simple troubleshooting and speed tests :mrgreen:


Here at work...well lets just say its plenty fast but its about to get a whole LOT faster with a whole lot more bandwidth. We have been working on a major fiber project of which we will become a major POP for Michigan connectivity.

I have DSL. I pay $59.95US per month for 768Kb/s down and 256Kb/s up. I live in a small rural community that has it's own phone company co-op. It was created years ago so that this area could get phone service. I'm one of a few customers who is pushing to have the thing dissolved because it is no longer needed. Verizon supplies phone service just a few miles away and they have DSL for $14.95 per month. I'd like to see them take over our phone service. We don't have cable where I live either. It sucks if you want the latest technology here, but the starry nights and quiet summer evenings are worth it all.

i think it depends where you live compared to the station for DSL, the farther away from the provider's router, the slower the connection :confused: i live in London. is that correct?

i also think DSL doesn't have slow downs if more people are using their connections in your area, is that correct?

[SeanTater]

600 KB/s down (4.8 Mbps), about 15-20 kb/s (160 kbps) up.. I pay $50 USD and I live in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States

It takes about 1/2 Hour to download a ~700 mb iso. Most servers stop at around 400 KB/s.
Calculations at top speed say it should take 19 minutes, 54 seconds to download an exactly 700MB file. It usually does not hit max, but each server varies.

@ home in Austria i have a symetric 10Mps connection (actually we have fiber cable in the house, but the 100Mps line costs around 130 €/m) with no up or download limit for 50 €/m. our ISP installed now also a wlan network in the city (quite slow..), what i can use for additional 5€ a month. Cool for the Nokia 770! I think i have to get one now.

Outside the cities without fiber optics (our "post" still has a defacto monopoly, cause they own the "last mile" to the customers and chargre the highest "transport fees" for data running over their cables all over europe. it's unbelievabe expensive here to have a ****** adsl connection. my parents pay these bastards 19 €/month for 364/128 with a total traffic limit (Up & down) of 250 MB. that's just crazy.

[schurtek]

Here in South Africa, telecomms is kinda of a monopoly, so we stuck with high fees. Standard package here... you'll pay about ZAR400 per month for the 512K DSL line... that excludes anything else. the next one up is a 1024K for about ZAR700. Then you get your ISP. I charge my clients ZAR200 for 3gigs, and ZAR75 for each gig there after. Uncapped starts at ZAR1500. The fees are controlled by our telecomms providor... and we have been promised another one for years, but still nothing...

Our providor made about $30 billion US the other year in profit, then it laid off 60% of it's staff, and upped it's fees by 15%.

I get wireless though. 128K up and down for ZAR500, flat rate uncapped unshapped... the best value here in South Africa...

Just to let you know... your line speed is measured in kbps, while your download is measured in KBps. Notice the difference in Capitals. kb means kilobits, KB means kilobytes. There are 8 bits to a byte... so a 64kbps line will download at a maximum push of 8KB per second. Now remember that you need 10 to 15% head room for packet headers and parity checks, so you should be getting 6.8 - 7.2 Kilo Bytes per second... at best.

20Mb down, 1Mb up 10Gb/month peak + 10Gb/month off peak (0000 -> 0800), shaped to 64K download after that.

AU$50/month, but I have to get their phone too which has so far worked out about AU$5-10/month more than when we were on Telstra (Australia's telcom virtual monopoly).

10/10 Mbps (half-duplex though) for 185 SEK -> ~ 20€

At home in Londonderry, NS, Canada, can't get cable or telephone high speed. I am on dialup and the phone lines suck. With 56k modem, I am lucky to get a 28k connection. Most of the time it 24 or 26.4. Broadband distribution in rural Nova Scotia sucks. Aliant is pretty much the only game in town, so they do what they want.

[Greycloak]

My cablemodem service recently upgraded to 15mb down and 2mb up for $50 a month. It's really nice being able to download at 1200Kb/s. If I wanted to pay another $20 a month they will upgrade to 30mb down 4mb up.

[Biltong (Dee)]

My LAN network administrator says we have 10/100mb/s LAN and server connection @ 640kb/s down and 384kb/s up running on average 550kb/s down and 320 kb/s up.

Connection is ADSL 512 (Telkom South Africa, in other words known as Crooks Inc. or Hellkom. :-()

[siimo]

Currently am paying AUD$35 pm for 512K/128K with 8GB free download. from reading the earlier posts, it seems the cost here is a little higher on average than North America and Europe. (and I'm on what is considered a value for money plan in the local broadband forums).
I am thinking about taking up an offer for AUD$50 pm that will give me up to 20Mbps download with 20GB free, but it means I have to give up my current phone connection.


hrm... thought i'd be worse off than you here in new zealand.

Currently have a 2mbps/128kbps with 10GB free international and unlimited national traffic for NZ$42.95 with www.xnet.co.nz

it's not that bad considering many linux distros have mirrors nationally including 2-3 for ubuntu, but i'd really like unlimited or more international traffic and higher upload. Currently same plan as me but 512kbps upload is $69.95 - total ripoff!

[kircher]

Hi, It's not all that bad in australia anymore (if you live in a major city anyway). I live in a share house in sydney, and our connection costs AU $60/month (US $46, €35, £24). There are 3 of us, so we each pay $20/month. This allows us a 24576/1024 kb/s download, with a 30GB limit. The connection is throttled to 128/128 kb/s after exceeding 30GB (which we do sometimes). This connection is known as adsl2+ here Australians, so if you live in a major city, do away with adsl (and telstra) and upgrade to 2+. It's cheaper and has a 16x faster download rate and 4x faster upload rate, as well as a better download limit. It's cheaper because the private telephone companies don't have to buy wholesale broadband from telstra anymore.

[GuitarHero]

$30 a month at 5mbps Verizon FIOS.

Yeah; according to a BT engineer (and BT owns most of the exchanges still), we should be getting ADSL2+ soon. But not yet...

[23meg]

The equivalent of about 26 Euros a month for 256kbps ADSL. One of the most expensive in the world, if not the most expensive.

Had ADSL2 with 56Mbit till spring was bit less than 40USD then our modem died and switched to fiber and now the tele also comes on it costs around 70USD. My sis pays close to 100USD for the IPtv and 3.5Mbit in Eu. :(

In New Zealand many people complain about our broadband, which has only really come to the market in the last 3 years, currently for NZ$49.95 per month (probably around US$30 at least I think the last exchange rate I saw was probably ~.67) I get 2mbit/128k with 5gb BW until about 6 months ago that was the fastest you could get and then they released 3.5mbit and now in the last week 7.6mbit has been released... the fastest upload until his week was 512kbit. My plan costs $10 per 5GB extra and for 7.6 mbit with 5gb BW it would cost about $79.95... this apparently is a good deal in NZ. I think its a crime.

[slimdog360]

im in one of the technologically underdeveloped countries, Australia.

$50 Australian per month for a 512kb download and 128kb upload connection with 20GB download. I need the 20GB download for all the linux distros I try.

However, the speed is only for local. Oversea speed will decrease significantly.

[Circus-Killer]

we get ripped off in south africa because we only have one telecommunications company known as Telkom, but often referred to as Hellkom and Telskum.

for example, for adsl, we pay R300 per month for a 512kbs line, which includes a 3GB cap! after that cap, its R100 per GB. our telecommunications prices are rated 2000% over most first-world countries.

despite this, telkom shows millions of rands of profit INCREASE each year, but the government wont step in, because they're on in the deal. its been proven in numerous studies that this one company is holding down the economy of the entire country. it prevents new companies from forming. basically, its a real mess.

in fact, the biggest reason i have for migrating overseas is for affordable communication. i know it sounds ridiculously drastic, but thats how bad it is. it would actually pay for me to do it.

for more information, you can take a look at MyADSL (http://www.myadsl.co.za/).

Broadband in Australia is terrible, its the governments fault for running our major telecommunications mob into the ground. The deal I have now has only just started to arrive at that price, its the fasted I can go as there is no ADSL2 2+ in my area yet. Make that most of Australia yet.

Sure you dont have your bits & bytes mixed up ??? i have a 384kbs adsl and get download speeds of 37.4 KBs, that is Kilo Bytes per second and not Kilo Bits per second

sounds wrong. do some internet speed tests and post your results in a new support thread. Also specify your router brand/model, ISP & output of ifconfig -a , route -n

I live in Riga, Latvia and I have 10Mbps[down]/5Mbps[up] connection to any Latvian resources and 640Kbps/320Kbps connection to any foreign resources (we have this stupid division). At night (from 2-8AM) this speed goes to 20Mbps/20Mbps and 2Mbps/2Mbps. I pay about 12 pounds or about 23$ per month for that. The good thing is that there is no limit on how much you can download/upload. When I lived in the Czech Republic, they had this so called "fair use" :D policy, where your speed was cut down when you went over some download limit.

edit:

Appears I have got slower. Not sure what the contention ratio is for my ISP but I bet there must be a few heavy downloaders localy sucking up all the bandwidth. They are probably Windows users too so I'll run the speed test again early in the morning whne there PCs are likely shutdown

My line is just like ****. 2Mbit download, 350 K upload. Often I'm not able to connect. The price? You don't want to read it... But it's the best I can have where I live...

[bpmorris]

$90 AU ADSL2+ 1MB up, 18MB down 50GB a month quota, provider is www.tpg.com.au. It is supose to 24MB down but my router says 18MB, either way still very quick...

[MrHorus]

8MBit ADSL, for which I pay £22.99 per month so that's about... $40.

[Tmi]

100 Mbit for about $10 (US dollars) a month. (Swedish connections are quite cheap, and this is a student offer since I live in a town with about 30% of the population being students.)

I'm supposed to have only 10 Mbit, but when the ISP came here they had an introduction offer where you would have 100 Mbit for 3 months if you bought their 10 Mbit service. That's soon a year ago, so it seems they forgot us :D. 100 Mbit is a few $ more a month.

[spamzilla]

[subiet]

i pay about 15$ a month for 2mpbs/256kbps connection, in delhi india, no download limit during night time, (i get abt 6gb a night, if the server supports it). The best part is that according to the authorities they are providing 2mbps during daytime and the night time unlimited is 256kbps only but in practice they never cap it during the night time too, so you get 2mbps during the whole day, and every stable. Feisty download was over in less than one hour.
but seriously, Swedish and Korean connections are a reason enough to migrate.

[Macintosh Sauce]

I have noticed something in this thread... Canada and the US have pathetic Intenet speeds. LOL

[Iceni]

3.6 down 0.5 up, about $80 a month. Norway wins, as usual :(

[Kunstar]

2MB line with d/l speeds of about 200kb/sec with PlusNet

Portland Or.

1) PersonalTelco.net Free connection thru Powell's Technical Bookstore. 1.2mb down 768k up.
2) MetroFi-Free Portland City wide access. 2.5mb down and 768k up.

Both are Free and 24/7 connections.

[j.miller565]

$50 NZD for 3Mbps down and 128Kbps up plus it's unlimited, but cuts out ever so often. BTW we have the most ****** up broadband over here in New Zealand. The max speed you can get here is 7.6Mbps

[Lucifiel]

About USD$30++ for 512 kbps download and 256 kbps upload speed. I know there are faster packages available from other ISPs but:

a) your actual speed might vary. Some of my friends achieve around 56 kbps speed because they're using cable connection and there're a lot of users within the area they live.

b) the ISPs actually restrict your download and upload speed

c) whether your BT downloads are legal/legitimate or not, they use P-cube to restrict it.

d) there is a chance you could get warning letters for even using BT, whether it's even for distributing your own materials.

[regomodo]

Supposed to be 10Mb down, dunno up speed.

However, the packaged modem only allows 2.8Mb

[Rumo]

7.5 Euro for a 16 MBit/s connection (upstream 1MBit/s).

I'm sharing the internet connection with my neighbours ;-)

[Extreme Coder]

*cries* The speeds you guys list are just mind-boggling :'(

Currently:
Download average: 100 Kbps
Upload average: 50 Kbps
Price: 60 Egyptian Pounds per month(about $12)
Limit: None
I could get the normal DSL here, but in the area where I live, there are no real telephone lines. So I have to put up with this crappy internet.( I am between the only 3 who have internet in a range of 5 miles)

In the hopefully very near future though:
Download average: 2 Mbps
Upload average: 1 Mbps
Price: 200 Egyptian Pounds per month( about $35)
Limit: 15 GB, with $1 for every extra GB

BTW, does anyone have experience with satellite internet? I'm thinking of setting it up for the whole community here. How expensive is it?

Thanks,
Extreme Coder

[Hallvor]

About 54 Euros a month for 3216/612. Don`t know how, but I have downloaded at 1,6 megabyte a second with Bittornado on that connection. It is much faster than my connection limit.

[Gone fishing]

US$ 488 per month (M3750) for a 1024 kbps ADSL connection.

Is there anyone who pays more than that?

[samalex]

Cool resurrection of a 3 year old thread, but I'll bite since we just got broadband connected at our new house last week and have been watching my speeds.

Attached are two screenshots I made when testing my speed a few days ago, and honestly it's MUCH better than expected. We're paying about $45/month for Road Runner from Time Warner in Texas and as tested the speed has been pretty steady at 20Mbps down and .5 Mbps up. I'm not complaining ;)

[Grace_11]

paying Rs.500(nearly US$ 10-11)/month for 2mbps downlink & 861kbps uplink..
but have usage limit of 2.5GB/month :(

Unlimited download usage, £10 a month if you get it with a telephone package. £15 otherwise I think.
They're always doing promos so I'm getting it free for 6 months now. I'm not complaining :D

€66,50 but voip and digital television are included in that price (tripple play) and no usage limit.

Getting upgraded to 120mbit/10mbit later this year for the same price, can't wait!

Fiber is getting more popular over here and a lot of cities have it up and running already 100mbit/100mbit d/l u/l, unfortunately I'm in a slightly more remote area of the country so I won't be getting that for years to come. I'm happy with my 50mbit/5mbit and soon 120mbit/10mbit cable connection.

[tom66]

1 Mbits/second down, 128 kbits/s up @ £8 p.m.
8 Mbits/second down, 1 Mbits/s up @ £12 p.m.
24 Mbits/second down, 3 Mbits/s up @ £25 p.m.

Three internet connections. Prices are approximate can't remember full prices.

[Shining Arcanine]

just curious as to the cost and speed in different parts of the world.

i pay CAD $25 (USD $22 18 EUROS) for a 2mbps/768k dsl connection. and i had to buy the modem and line filters seperately.

In New York, my household pays something like $40 a month for a 25Mbps symmetrical fiber connection from Verizon.


10 bucks per half year. 100mbit/s up and down. Gotta love how dormnet is connected to the apartments throughout the city ;)

Normally though, prices here are around 30-40 USD/month for a 24mbit/s line.

How much are your taxes?


isp tru university, 4K/S (dial up) on average as conky says - no fee for students...

see first link in my signature post #3 for DSL prices in Turkey.

How much is your tuition?

[Timmer1240]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/835945307.png (http://www.speedtest.net) Its alright

[Shining Arcanine]

This is over a WPA2 wireless connection:

http://www.speedtest.net/result/835951548.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

If I was using a wired connection, I would expect to get the full 25Mbps up/down that my symmetrical fiber connection provides.

[nerdtron]

995 Php (about 20USD) a month for a wireless package of 512kbps.

[arjunak01]

i get 2mbps connection at Rs.500 ($10.75), with a monthly free usage of 1.5GB during peak hours and free download during non peak hours(2AM to 8AM)

[Ebere]

I live in the pacific northwest of the us.

In the mountains.

I have just two options for internet, where I live. Dialup and verizon wireless broadband.

I was on dialup for more than 15 years.

Last summer I decided to try verizon broadband.

The promise is 3.5mbs down. The reality is no different from dialup. Average 56k. With occassional bouts where I get up to 700k.

With a 5g cap.

And that is only when I am even -able- to get a connection. In a month, I have from 1 week to three weeks on average, of days when I can actualy connect.

For this, I pay 60 dollars a month.

And the equipment to get even this much of a connection cost well over 600 dollars.

If they do not improve things by the end of my contract, I am very seriously considering going back to dialup.

I can get dialup for ten dollars a month. Getting a very -iffy- connection, and only getting dialup speed most of the time when I -do- get a connection... For 60 dollars a month, is a crime.

[siimo]

I am on ADSL connection 6Mbps/900Kbps 20GB download limit for US$41. New Zealand has it bad when it comes to internet, mainly due to our remote geographical location and incumbant monopolistic Telecom company.

There was a unlimited data plan for same price but they canceled it just this month. It was heavily traffic shaped for P2P anyway but reportedly some people downloaded several terabytes a month and ruined it for everyone.

[lordyosch]

I pay £33 per month for a landline, cable TV and a 10Mbps net connection.

breaks down to

£25 for phone and 30odd tv channels (and on demand)

£13 for net

I'm very happy with it, speed is reliably 10(ish meg) -upload of 500kpbs I think. No download caps, only day time throttles.

Virgin media (in case you wondered)

[el_heffe]

I might get 8k/s on a download on a satellite link in Afghanistan, and it costs me $50/30 days or 5gigs, whichever comes first.

[Dustin2128]

Too slow and too much. Literally no broadband competition here whatsoever.

[Dragynn]

7mbps down and too-pathetic-to-mention upload for around $40.00 USD for cable (Roadrunner). In practice, my download speed is usually really good, but the upload is not even close to being as fast as the advertised amount I pay for, I think my ISP is throttling all their upload speeds to combat file-sharers, which is something I don't do, so it really pisses me off. I build websites now and then, and the initial uploads take forever and frequently get cut off. Thanks Time-Warner.

[foxmulder881]

Scummy and slow Australian internet here. AU$39.95 for 256k. Unlimited downloads/uploads.

[Khakilang]

1024kbps download, 386kbps upload. RM88.00 a month. To put things in perspective the price for a single BigMac here in Malaysia cost around RM5.50 and the starting sallary for a fresh graduate engineer is RM1600.00

I guess we still have a lot to improve on the broadband service here.

*drools when reading about other's bandwidth*

You are lucky. I am using P1 Wimax with only 400Kbps/100Kbps and 5GB cap that cost RM49.00 per month. And after the 5GB cap the speed will drop to 70% slower to about 90Kbps/25Kbps. But the signal is good.
:confused:

[karmila]

I have an usb mobile broadband with 512/128 kbps connection for around of $8 per month. And it is unlimited.
