For your internet service?
I belive we pay just under $45 a month for our connections but i want to either cut that figure back or, double the speed of our service and i wondered who everyone was using for their ISP and how much they charged?
Regards,
Lee
I think we pay about $80 per month, but that has all the cable TV channels, dvr, 2 modems, ECT. Last time I check, adelphia (in la) was about $45 per month just for cable modem.
i was paying $50 a month, but when i told sbc we were probably moving to earthlink (which we really were), they gave me a high speed business line for $29.95 per month for a year. so now my upload speed is up to 4 times faster, my download speed is up to ten times faster (at worst, it's 6 times faster), and my monthly bill is $20 less :)
plus we can handle multiple computers on the new connection so i don't need a separate connection for each computer now...
So..do most of you like cable modems over a dsl connection. I have to pay about $100 a month for a dsl connection that gives me 1.5 m down and 768 up.
I know cable is capped at 256k up (at least with Comcast)and that's the only thing that has kept me from switching to cable from dsl.
I have Cablevision High Speed. My upload is 1.5 and my download is 1.5 and I pay $45.95 a month. DSL stands for "Digital Slower Line" lol, I sound like a cablevision ad. Cable is way faster than DSL.Quote:

OK so we here in Aus are paying far tooooo much.
Unlimited Usage (slows after 10GB) on cable I'm paying around $62.95
can't remember the upload download spiel that they fed me at the time :)

Comcast is actually upping their bandwidth on their home user plan (at least in the bay area). They just did an upgrade here to handle the extra capacity, and we're now getting something like 4.0Mbps down and about 400Kbps up. We were paying about $45, and I called and bitched that they were running cheaper deals for new customers, and they dropped it by $15/month for 6 months (at which point I'll call and bitch again.)
Yeah..I remember seeing some ads on tv about it getting to around 6m down on Comcast..hmm..if they are now around 400up that gives me more incentive now to drop dsl!Quote:

(Basschick - call them, threaten to switch if you don't get the advertised price!)
bec - the $19.95 price isn't for business dsl - it's for residential dsl - 3mb on a modem. i'm getting 10mb on a router that will handle four boxes :) i hadn't realized the internet was so fast ;)
I'm using a regional cable carrier here in eastern PA.
Paying $40/mo for a theoretical 3 mbps, but actual throughput seems to be about 2.5 mbps. Upstream is 350kbps.
If I were to get my own cable modem (as opposed to renting their equipment), it would be $30/mo. I'm not sure why I haven't gotten one yet... lazy?
Oz, is that $63 in AUD or USD? ;)
HotMaleVideos - have you checked on the speed of the upstream on cable? it's worth checking. here it's a lot slower than dsl.
Yep, cable upstream is consistently 350 kbps for me.
For anyone curious about their speed, broadbandreports.com has a speed test.
Verizon $29.99 a month over here.....
Am I the only one here who hosts their own websites?
Well I have a T1 into my apartment. It's $349/month. It is with a local Austin ISP, which I started using in 1996.
Naturally with that I don't need to buy cable internet or DSL services.

$42.95 before local franchise taxes for internet from Cumcast
4000/384 speed
in comparison the new Verizon FIOS charges about the same for 15000/2000 via fiber :eek:
I use cable... I am paying about $40
We pay $119 - but that also includes the cable. About $40 for cable. Thinking about moving out to Denver - a T1 costs about $40 a month out there
AUD. Rough conversion is $50 USQuote:

That includes my cable tv with like 80-90 channels
Unfortunately, I am stuck with BigPond one-way satellite here in Australia. It costs me about $78/mo for 512K download plus $15/mo for my local ISP 33.6K upload plus 18 cents per call, and I get forced-disconnected every 4 hours from my isp too, plus I have a 2nd phone line rental fee of about $30/mo....total for each month for this fabulous service is well over $200.
This is not including any GPRS services I use to access the internet via my mobile phone / pda.
cheers,
Luke
I’m on optonline.net
I’m also caped all the time because of all my uploads I do. They for right now are the fastest game in town but a real pain to deal with! I pay 49 a month. Eric listens none stop to a radio station from malay. The download is good but upload sucks.
Verizon has a new service called FIOS it’s fiber. That’s 15 down load up to 5 upload for the same price. You guys should check to see if you could get the service or get on the waiting list. In Amityville they say around June or July.

coz those unlucky bastards like me who don't get verizon are stuck on Comcast :)
btw for those on Comcast, there's talk of good discounts if you call them. I lost the link, but there's a discount for Internet and Basic Cable I believe that goes up to 12 months.
Our bill is $120+ currently with HBO/Showtime + TV + internet....
I want Fios....:(
we had cable visions io service along with the cable modem. I throw out the io system the picture sucked! I went back to dish network. I love them! I pay 90 for all the programing along with local and a dvr and one other rec. in the bedroom. plus eric pays anther 40.00 for the Chinese programming
