How much do you pay for your internet?

[Dave]

One of the great internet sayings is, of course, "You wins an internet!"

So for one of the upcoming contest prizes I think it would be cool to give away an internet! Or at least do so by sending the equivalent of a month's internet through PayPal!

But as I'm hurting for money I don't want to pay too much. Plus, if you only pay $5 I don't think it would be a good prize at all.

Respondents will be anonymous so don't worry about people questioning you.

I am getting gypped with my internet. In my area I am stuck with pretty much only Comcast and they are charging me about $30 for their cheapest and slowest internet package (about 1.5 - 2.0 mbps).

 

[Hailey Knight]

High speed, $59 a month.

 

[klew]

up to 3.5Mbps, $135/month

 

[Hylian]

up to 3.5Mbps, $135/month

suddenly I feel better about how much I am paying

 

[bigcountry23]

10/10 for $35. Utopia Fiber optic FTW.

 

[Bumble the Boy Wonder]

Maybe we should take a donation pool and buy a computer as the prize

Kind of like winning an internet!

 

[SpecialKO]

15 Mbps Down/8 Up, $15 (includes phone).

I'm part of a building package, so I get a big discount, but I'm also locked in to my provider choice if I want internet at home.

 

[linglingface]

Ahhh I'm not sure... >.>
Roommate's name is on the Comcast bill, I just know internet + cable is $100 for us. /stupid

 

[PatrThom]

Uverse 6/1, $35 for Internet, $20 for phone.

[Williamjamesw]

$21.95, still on dial up.

 

[Terrik]

I pay about $12 month for a 4 MB connection (includes phone).

 

[Cog]

6 Mbps for free. Thanks to my brother and his work on a local isp.

 

[Sparhawk]

3Mbps $42 when all the charges are settled.

 

[Math242]

0.

company pays for it

 

[gargoyle_eva]

$140 AUD a month. Anywhere between 3 - 12Mbps. Living outside of a major city in australia= wallet rape!

No option for "nothing but i don't steal it either?!" (not any more anyway)

Because no one pays for either of the 2 connection we have at home... part of the package when they where allowed to put their switches on our staircase(is that right in english? the part with the common hallways in apartment buildings).

I do pay a bout 15€ (with tax) for my mobile net... but that's because it's unlimited and it got me a better price for the phone. My brother pays about 5€ for 500MB/month...

 

[Seraphyn]

20mbps down / 8 up for 20 euro's

on my phone it's 5 bucks a month but i don't know the speed since I never cared enough to find out.

 

[SpecialKO]

15 Mbps Down/8 Up, $15 (includes phone).

I'm part of a building package, so I get a big discount, but I'm also locked in to my provider choice if I want internet at home.

Great price!
FIOS currently only offers 7mbps as their 'highest speed', but because I was lucky to get in when they were first rolling it out, my plan is grandfathered in.

Unfortunately, I moved out of Lewisville shortly after I *first* got FIOS (which was like the first week they offered it, in the country). Back then, I was getting 20mpbs down, but was paying like $49.99 for it. Still, the speed was pretty sweet. I remember having an argument with some cable internet douche at the state fair...he was this 'hard sell' type who wouldn't get out of my face until I told him I had fiber optic to the house via Verizon and was getting thirteen times the download speed his company offered for the same price. By that time, a crowd had gathered, several people asked who I was getting my internet from, and he realized that he had just lost a ton of sales. Heh

Now, I get the same data rates as you, but I pay about twice as much.[/QUOTE]

I hate those cable internet guys. Every vendor conference or public tech show I go to has a cable internet booth for someone, and they always have one hard-sell type who won't get out of your face.

I'm very grateful for my plan, but also a bit mildly antsy about not being able to wield the "cancel-and-sign-with-competitor" hammer.

 

[Adam]

Shaw High-speed, $37/month for 7.5Mbps download, 512Kbps upload.

Of course, judging by the amount of time it's down, it's more like 0.0Mbps download, 0.0Kbps upload...

 

[Bones]

I pay about 45$ after long time customer discounts for a Fiber line through comcast. 30 Mbps up/5 Mbps down sustained. still itching to get a newer more speedy modem so i can unlock the full potential of my line, which is about 5x the speed I get now.

 

[Reboneer]

Roughly 10 Mbps, $60. Although I accidentally voted $61+.

 

[Necronic]

$30, 12 down, not sure up (maybe 3?)

Ok now everyone, actually test your speeds: Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test



(that's within the country, and we kinda have peering between most if not all our ISP's)

 

[Hylian]

My home internet speed






My works internet speed.

 

[KenjiFinster]

Same-country:

To SFO:


I pay about U$60/mo for 12Mb/512kb + Unlimited local calls.

 

[klew]

$135 for this?

 

[PatrThom]

$35 for 6/1, and this is what I get.

Close enough to what they advertise.

Home. Not at work today so I can't test that.

Second test. I'll bet it'll get even better when I log out of my VPN with work.
