You connection Speed?
 
What kind of a connetion to the net do you have from your home?

fever 03-04-2002 01:04 PM

And another fun thing to know is how much $$ you pay for it...

I pay ~$30/month for Cable (1Mbit in/128Kbit out), no traffic limits. Pretty expensive for the low speed, but there isnt any other choice where I live :(

Lexxx 03-04-2002 01:16 PM

Doesn't sound like a bad deal for around $30 though... I used to pay much more for a shittier deal with DSL.

Pipecrew 03-04-2002 01:19 PM

I have bell highspeed, 34 a month i think and its fucking hype, so much better then @home which went down every 3 days

XXXPaysiteDesign 03-04-2002 01:20 PM

Around the same here. Enough just to surf and work.

cable.... use a router and this beotch fuels 6 machines in the office too, no problems, that is until i have about 140 megs of MatrixContent uploading to the servers =-)

LukieD 03-04-2002 02:15 PM

The prices in the UK are still sky high. It used to be £40 ($55) for adsl (500k in/250k out) I'm still on 56k simply due to the fact that I've never got round to calling up and ordering it. The prices have just come down but they are still a lot more than i the US and most other places in the world.

Ludedude 03-04-2002 02:15 PM

DSL 7.1 mbit down, 1.5 up

Jayson 03-04-2002 02:58 PM

I hate seeing these prices, I pay AUD$225 (US$110) for ADSL 1.5Mbit down, 256K up, 5GB Total Bandwidth. Roughly AUD$0.12 per MB over that.

God I love Australia!!!

I pay £25 for blueyonder :)

FreeOnes 03-04-2002 03:04 PM

I pay about $300 per month for a 1024/256 kbps ADSL connection with 6 static IP-addresses and unlimited bandwith. Pretty much, but 100 times better than a cable connection of $40 per month with problems all the time....

Yep, and dont we love them.

I am just under the 5GB limit but there are 3 people sharing the connection. Gets to be a juggling act at the end of the month to stay under.

danevans 03-04-2002 04:40 PM

Wow, you must be reeeeally cheap to call those prices high..
Country: Yugoslavia
Speed: 56k (20-40k average)
Pay per hour: 0.5$ + phone bill
ISP's slogan: If speed kills, you're safe with us!

Nbritte 03-04-2002 06:41 PM

My current connections sucks but we are moving in the summer about 15 miles. The local telephone company there offers sdsl 768k up and down for 60 a month. Which is more then enough to make me drool after doing 56k for so long

man...who fucking cares.....what a lame poll........

don 03-04-2002 07:19 PM

Road runner cable @39.99 a mo.

Slick 03-04-2002 07:20 PM

I have a package deal, which gives me a 1.5mb/s cable modem and full cable, all of the movie channels, the works for $99.99. Those pricks just raised it up though, it used to be $89.99 per month.

eru 03-04-2002 07:46 PM

I pay $30 month for the fastest cable in USA (im not bullshitting), I have had the service for over one year and even at peak times such as now (9:48PMEST), I have a download speed of about 8000k (1MB/sec) and an upload speed of about 900k (about 115KB/sec). I use OptimumOnline. If it is in your area - GET IT!!!

theWatsonian 03-04-2002 07:51 PM

Yeah, I'm on Verizon DSL out here. Not too fast but I got 4 machines online for $49.95 per month. My first two sales everymonth pay for that so it's practically free. :)

corvette 03-04-2002 07:58 PM

US West DSL

About $55 per month

pipp 03-04-2002 10:00 PM

I have a 2.3 mbit leased line ! 180$ mnd.

playa 03-04-2002 10:03 PM

cable is sooo cool,,, much more reliable,,,

i love it cuz i am the only one in my neighborhood that uses cable,,, all the bandwidth to my self

tha_timinator 03-05-2002 01:36 AM

dsl. adsl to be exact.
i have 2 options for broadband over here in holland: cable or adsl. cable is very unreliable in holland so that's why i picked adsl - 512kbit/128kbit for about $45.-/month... unlimited bandwidth (fair use policy). not very cheap but i dig it... it's affordable and i like the reliability of the uptime and speed...
pro'ly i'm gonna upgrade soon to 1024kbit downstream (1mbit)... lots more expensive; about $70.-/month or so but hé, i'm online non-stop so if something is worth it then it's my internet connection.

ZapMan 03-05-2002 01:52 AM

I have cable thru TIME WARNER and they like to ass rape you at a nice $45 a month plus the $12 in taxes you somehow end up with

so $57 a month.

Fucking assholes
