i paid 6500$ for internet, insane
 

6500$ since i have had highspeed installed.

in 98.

crazy shit.

doesnt include dialup years before that at 2$ an hour :1orglaugh

I have the most expensive Internet in the World - I pay arount $300 for my ADSL 1Mbit line which is also capped, not to mention the daily resets that will fuck up any program that requires constant connectivity, it's also shaped which means that any p2p download will trickle

mine is 3mbps dsl.
had 1.5mbps in the past, and cable modem, and 256k dsl, and 56k dsl (early stages of my highspeed years)

another bump...

maybe internet is not so popular on that yr :)

I miss my 2400 baud modem.

I've paid $3350 Canadian since 1999 for cable internet.. 6mbps uncapped usage.

It was 5mbps and capped at 12gb/month from 1999 to 2004

phreak :error

I could send you one. I'm sure I have a couple laying around somewhere.

i ended up paying 2900$ for a month of dial up once lol

Oh, Christ.

I remember when I first logged onto Compuserv with a 300 baud modem. A 300 baud simplex modem. This means you flipped a switch between send and receive.

No, I'm not THAT old.. I just didn't have money for good gear. I had a VIC-20 and got a VicModem in, uh... 1990ish. Took about 3 hours to find out they had all but entirely phased out support, and the comms software I loaded from tape ate itself. That ended up costing like $80. :(

When I lived in SFBA, I was spending almost $500/mo for internet. I had 218k SDSL with a /27, and a cablemodem. Then, of course, the cost of electricity.. hoboy.

I'm much better now. Really. Wanna toggle my simplex switch, baby?

beeing away for a week with my laptop and cell as modem wasn't that cool... $3.50 per MB downloaded...

that is a lot of money!

I pay $9/mo 154kbps cdma mobile and $100/mo for 5mbps wireless

i soon have 100mbps internet, pimpin

I pay $70 a month now for 10mbit

loving it

I remember a £400 a month bill for AOL back in 1995

I pay around $35/mo for a 30MBPS connection.

I used to pay 750 euro per month in 98 for internet acces with 56k dial up modem. Today it's like 35 euro per month for adsl but I'm thinking to switch to vdsl in a while.

I had dial-up in 1995 or so
1997-1999 I had ISDN (128kbps?)
2000-now I've been on cable.
First 512kbps, then 1mbps, then 3mbps and now 6mbps. I haven't done anything to my cable contract, I pay the same as in 2000, they just send me messages that they've upgraded the 'high-end' connections to a new speed. It kicks ass.
Shame that uploads are capped at 512kbps. :(

i thought you were going to say thats what you paid for a month :1orglaugh

Its around $4320 ($45 a month) for me since 1998 for the high speed access.
About $480 ($20 a month) for dail up I had for the 2 yrs prior to the high speed.
So total of $4800, not to bad at all I say.
Probably made 75 times that more or less.
A big "Thank You" to my ISP :thumbsup

I also went form dial-up trough ISDN and now ADSL, first I got connected in 96 I think, spent the first night jerking off non-stop, so much porn for free ;)

although back then it was mostly CJ sites so in order to see like 10 pictures you had to fight at least 20 pop-ups

I was paying $AUD0.19 per inbound megabyte until around 2000-2001. Assuming a 1:5 inbound:outbound ratio that worked out to about $USD20-25 per gig sent out. When I first started in 1996 I was paying roughly double (imagine $USD45-50 per gig...)

At those rates you definitely wouldn't want to be hosting any large sites!

my neighbour (wifi) pays all 'my' internet bills ;) ;)

I have to be up there too.

hahaha I'm not that old school. i started on 14.4

i'm still on dialup... :(

I don't even think my Vic20 kicked it as fast as 2400. 300 maybe...

congrats on paying that much, i think i have paid more though!

I pay around $12 for 100mbps :)

I pay around $600 a year for my internet connection.

6000/768 ADSL for $12.99/mo

And I live in a bodunk town with a pop of 600 or so. ;)

? 36/mo for 20Mbits flat

50 a month for 10 mbps cable... worth evey penny and than some

I remember when it was $5.99/hr. :disgust

money well spent :)

why do some people here quote "mega bit" per second and others "mega baud"?

interesthing :D....
I'm interested

But how much revenue have you generated off that connection you've had :)

I pay $500 a month for my internet connection here in Vanuatu.And its only 256K.Not even real broadband.
