How much do you pay for how much internet?

[oceen246]

it takes me about 40 minutes to download one anime episode, and my service is pretty good, so I don't really mind.

I used to have DSL before with verizon, and there was always a problem with my line. I had Business DSL, which cost me about $70 a month, and my phone was $70 also, which ended being $140 in total.

I didn't have cable tv because truth is, I don't watch much tv with all the anime episodes I download. But now, I have cable tv, internet, and phone all for the same total I used to have before.

well i'm in canada, Toronto to be exact and I pay $46 CAD for a 4 MBit Down 800 kbps upstream. That is good considering they screwed up on my billing and i should be paying more like $79. Its unlimited BW no restrictions or soft caps like rogers up here. I needed that kind of speed b/c i download about 250 - 300 Gigs a month. (have a dvd burner).

am I the only person in the UK on this forum ?

I pay £23.98 per month for my 512kbps ADSL connection (approx 55k/bps download rate).

Standard fees for the UK hover between £19.99 to £30 for standard 512kbps services.

How much is $46 CAD and $79 CAD in US dollars?

[AkimichiChouji]

46$ is probably like 30-35$ us 79 is like 55-60$ american.

I live outside of toronto, actually in a small country village of 400 people which is absoultly retarded. I've lived here for 7 years now and just finally got cable internet im going at like 100-300kbs so thats alright i guess it gets the stuff i want better then my 28.8 and 56k

Hurray for Swedish ISP...

[Stoopider]

Anybody here from Korea? I heard Korea is dirt cheap.

[itachi_]

Sweden, Korea and one other country is in the top of the ISP, and are cheapest too..

[Xollence]

I've been to Korea. Most people just use PC rooms. Don't know how much it is, maybe it's because the won is a lot weaker than the dollar.

[r3n]

most korean apartments come equiped with 2mb as standard i think, its practically free.

[JusDaMan]

That is due to koreans being the worlds largest mmorpg players. The government even suspended gaming from the times of 1am to 1pm. This dood a while back gamed for 3 days stright but then died =P. and there a internet cafe on every street... and im talking about south korea not sure about north korea being they they r opressed and all...

[Kamikaze_Jeanne]

I live in Sweden, it costs 300kr/month, and that's about 30$ each month.
Is that cheap?

PC rooms? You mean Cybercafe's?? here in Malaysia is very cheap as well for Cybercafe's. It was the trend at one time. But now It's kinda dying out.

It's about Rm2 or USD 0.50$ per hour.

Hey, I'm from Canada too and I have Rogers and there's no cap. There're no restrictions. Which service do you have? I got:

DL: 3Mbps
UL: 384kbps

It's unlimited and I pay $45 CAD. Wow, internet is expensive in the States.
