[Timmychuck]

I read this forum https://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=209304
I just want to know what people paying for broadband.

I live in USA I pay $50 for 512k

[ClayBuster]

Sbcglobal. $26.50 1.5Mbs :P

[K2]

I recomend you make this a poll.

I live in USA, pay $26.95 for 1.2Mbps

[disturbed1]

$44.95 3Mbit/s down 768kb/s up. They just changed it from 2Mbit/s 384kb/s without a price increase. USA

Wish I had Optium Online (8Mbit/s down 1Mbit/s Up, but usually higher). Check www.broadbandreports.com for network tweaks and tests.

Thats not fair i live in the uk and i pay £34.99 (about $60) for a 1mb connection.

why is it so much cheaper in the US???

[ROBERT BLACK]

$30.00 Canadian for 1.5 Mbs :P

[disturbed1]

It isn't that cheap everywhere. Where I live, there are 3 broadband cable companies and 5 major DSL providers. More competition, less of a price. We happen to be a test market for WOW (Wild Out West) and Time Warner. I'm waiting for WOW to roll their Fiber Networked Neighborhood plan. Suposed to see 10Mbit/s connections, but that's been talked about for a little over a year now.

Out in the boonies, they usually charge 2x for 1/4 the speed. As the first poster stated (not claiming he's in the boonies ) $50/month for 512kb/s isn't uncommon. It just depends on location. The US has a mandate coming soon, that every person has to have access to high speed internet. With Direct TV, anybody can get 512kb/s just about anywhere.

Yahoo SBC/Global is also a nationwide(US) DSL carrier, offering everyone the same plan, as long as they are close enough to their telco. Earthlink has a somewhat the same offering, by licensing cable networks and DSL packages in different states.

[glockjs]

[D_Knife]

Australia Brisbane
Cable - 600K down 12GB per month limit - AU$69
There are only now getting broadband without monthly GB limits
and a lot of them that state "no limits" actually have a 20GB limit per month - that the "unlimited" pricing of course!

[BJ_M]

$30.00 Canadian for 1.5 Mbs :P

same here == works out to about 25$ US

no caps either ....

[Poppa_Meth]

3Mbps down and 256Kbps up, $42.95/month US. Adelphia Cable. Unfortunately the only one in my area to offer cable connection and the worse cable company in the history of mankind (dating back to the stone age methinks). It drops connection every few minutes and Adelphia keeps trying to say there is no problem. I'll probably have to ditch it soon. 8 monthes of dropped signals and no fixes yet. Just say no to Adelphia.

[johns0]

$105 for 70 gb limit 10 ip and 15 email addresses,5mbps down and faster at times and 450kbps up steady.

[glockjs]

they have limits on broadband downloading???? whaaaa?? i'd be screwed if that were true here.

[Sifaga]

3 Gb per month limit on my cable unlimited plan


about $70


will post the speed later

Q. What is speed limiting?

A. When you exceed 100% of your plan's monthly Data Allowance your service will be speed limited to the maximum speed of a 28.8 kbps dial up modem. In practice this will be between 20 kbps and 28.8 kbps until the 1st of the next calendar month (at which point your Data Allowance will be reset).

[D_Knife]

Sifaga
If your on Optus - and it sure looks it from your speed limiting quote then you now have a 12GB limit - like myself

[Sifaga]
