Well, I'm in MD, US; I used have Comcast at my old house for 7Mbps for about $50 (or was it $60?) per month. We moved 2 months ago and I got us Verizon FIOS (It's their new fiber optical lined service). I just picked their lowest one, I didn't feel like dishing the additional 10 bucks per month for 3 times the bandwidth @_@. And, I just went to their site, and they are offering a discount that were not available when I signed up *sighs* Anyhow:

Connection Type: Fiber Optical
Bandwidth: 5Mbps down/2Mbps up
Service Provider: Verizon
Cost Per Month: $40 (pre tax)

It kinda surprised me when I heard highspeed internet providers elsewhere restricted the transfer amounts; (my friend in UK was complaining about having to buy additional GBs because of the high quantities he downloads). Once, I downloaded 100GB worth of stuff in 2 weeks on an, if I remember correctly, around 700kbps line at my old apartment near the campus once. Who knows how much I've downloaded at my family home. If my ISP limited transfers, I would have bankrupted by now.

Hi members,

I guess I use the connection which nowadays is most popular in india and still increasing it's base, yes it's none other then dataone connection.

The specifications as requested are:
Connection type: through cable
Average bandwith: it is 2 Mega bits per second or you can also say 256 Kilo Bytes per second
Service provider: None other then our BSNL(bharat sanchar Nigam Limited)
Cost per month: Rs 500 + Rs0.80 per Mega byte above 2.5 Giga byte per month extra
Total download limit: 2.5 Giga byte that's really sufficient!!
Free Download time: from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. whatever you download will be free, so you can download movies (not the trailers but the whole movie!!), also full softwares, etc, etc.

In one word I must say Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited is the best as it gives best service at low cost. Though one thing is the drawback, that is if you have any problem in your connection then this govenmental service will get you a lot of effort to get your connection working.

Bharat sanchar nigam limited also has a plan of Rs 250 which is best for average home user while the Rs 500 plan works best for surfers.

Good day!

I have a cable connection on a wireless network.

Can't remember the speed. But it is fast.

I think it is near $50 a month with the phone bundle we got. Way to expensive IMHO. The people that do pricing should be shot. There is no reason for something a machine does to cost so much.

xorcist

I was looking down the list of peoples connect and I see that some people have service from the same company with higher ups tream and downstream and paying like 10 dollars less then me. But I don't know if that is because At&T bought over the company I am with now and just kept the same prices.

I have a great one for being in the US: Verizon FIOS. 5mbps down, 2mbps up for well under $40 as its part of a combo deal. (Normal price is $40/month). For $10 more a month I could get 15mbps bandwidth, but I don't want it.

CMA, 30GB/month international downloads I would not like to have! Just this monring I downloaded 3GB of video mostly internationally.

And please everyone mention your upload speeds. I used to have a connection with 4mbps down but only a quarter megabit up and that's horrible for P2P activities. I like my 2mbps uploads much more.

bonestorm74

I have an ADSL2+ connection. I have a 150 Gigabyte quota (of that 40 gigabytes for on peak and 110 gigabytes for off peak). This all costs me AU$69.99 which is a pretty good deal in Australia. There's nothing much to compete with it actually.

I have my broad band connection

The speed is 128kbps but they dont really give 128kbps

i think i get around 100 or less than 100kbps

I am paying 700/- rupees in indian money

I am not really satisfied with the speed but i do not have any other choice as we have only one provider in my location. I fight with him for more faster connection but no result.

I have dial-up connection with three different providers. I don’t know about speed, sometimes it’s so bad that I wait for several minutes to load a page and then I just have to switch to another provider, usually at least one of them has a little better speed at that time. I pay less than 10 euro for a whole month. Maybe I will soon start to use ADSL… I’m not sure I need it.

I am on virgin media and i have an unbelievable package with them. They gave me this package for life because they messed me about so much in the start of my contract with them.

This is what i get:

20meg Broadband, Unlimited Bandwidth

Unlimited Local and National Calls

XL TV Package, with over 250 Channels

Sky Sports. 1 2 3 and Extra

Setanta Sports Package - Includes Setanta 1 & 2, NASN 1 & 2, Setanta Golf and at the races.

All this i am getting for just £61 with them for life.

ChrisCh

My ISP has recently enabled ADSL2+ on my exchange, so that's a 24mbps theoretical maximum (it usually goes around 7-8mbps though), and it comes with 16GB high speed downloads, and when the download limit is reached, speed is throttled to 126kbps until the end of the billing period at no charge. It also comes with free IPTV (with about 30 satellite channels), which does not count towards the monthly download limit.

So yea, I'm quite happy! Only $49.99 a month! Very Happy

It seems in most of the places people are not so happy with their connection however they are sticking to their connection only because they do not have any other choice.

blind_underwear

Sadly enough, I have comcast "high speed" internet. It is actually slower then my grandfather's DSL and I pay like thirty five dollars more a month then he does. They are always having problems with their network. I was actually told that they internet is so slow because it it summer. The previous three summers it was slow, but not as slow as this summer. Their tech support is horrible. One time I could only type in ip addresses and not url's and the tech guy actually laughed at me and just told me to have fun trying to figure out the ip addresses of the sites I wanted to visit and then hung up on me Mad

. I'm glad that I have moved to a new area that doesn't have comcast, so now I have Charter and love it.

DivineLight

Well that's a horrible story, I know what it's like without net. ssome days ago I can't logion and it was sunday, so no tech support or I wasn't lucky no one was answering the calls.

But even in here (Pakistan) situation is not that worse, where do you live?

Hunterseaker

This is not a very good result, normaly it is much higher, about 4000 kb/s download speed. Tho today my connection is really slow Sad

. And thats the whole problem, I pay for a high speed connection: 20M, tho the real speed is much slower.

I have DSL and I have a Dutch provider.
I pay 36 euro's a month.

So you can imagine I'm not quite happy with my results......

dude_xyx

Im using ADSL line which I pay 30 US dollars per month. Line suppose to give me something around 512 to 1 MB download speed But it never happens. Usually gets something around 128 MB. Since there is only on ADSL provider there aren't we can do. Also its not based on bandwidth and its a Unlimited line. So I have to be happy with it.

.

rein

This was done at work. We use a business-type of ADSL connection.

The internet market is monopolised here though, because the telecom network in Belgium is the property of a former governmental organisation. Because of that, we pay far too much for internet access. My home internet costs 42€/month, with a download limit of 12 gigabyte/month.
Ridiculous huh.

We are in the UK and also use bt internet.
I have no clue how much it comes in a month, as we have a package with ours, telephone, digital, and internet, so internet on it's own I wouldn't know.

I am in called Nepal and the internet connections here are worse than what it is in India. I think that my the bandwidth for my current internet connection is also provided by India. I used to use dial up which was really slow and cable internet connection which was equal to the speed of dial up about a week ago. Then ADSL got introduced for the first time in my country and I subscribed to it as soon as I could.

So here is my internet connection details:

Connection type: ADSL
AVERAGE BANDWIDTH: 128 kbps (they say it but it's slower that that)
SERVICE PROVIDER: NT (Nepal Telecom)
COST PER MONTH: Rs. 904 ($13 approx.)

I think I will upgrade it to 256 kbps as soon as they allow upgrading of accounts and promise a good support for my internet connection.
