$59.99 p/month. Direcway 2 way satellite. Fast and dependable.
The Downside. 169mb bandwidth limit in a 12 hour period. Dial-up speeds on upload. Avoid Direcway at all costs unless, like me, it's your only option for high speed."It is not enough to obey Big Brother. You must love him". -
Baldrick,
Thank you. I knew you were just too courteous to show us what real BB and pricing should be.
Wow, 10 meg SDSL for 30 Euro, about 24 USD, now. Tanfastic.

Hope this link gets you close, anyway.

Kolosus,
Direcway is Dish, isn't it? They tried to steer me to that when I canceled my Dish account because I had signed for AT&T, and when Comcast bought them, they were going to raise my rate unless I also took cable TV. Too late, and now I see, too expensive.
That dish also transmits, no? No phone hookup? And do you mean 1.69mbps?
Cheers,
George
BTW, DirecPC would cut your speed if you were a heavy DL'r. Does Direcway? -
I pay $44.00 for 3.2mb down/ 512kbs up dsl through SBC. The good thing is this price is good till i cancel the contract. Price won't go up in three months like with comcast.

that guy up there who advertised his Canadian shaw package as unlimited both ways after stating the 1.5mpbs speed. Shaw isn't unlimited bandwidth, they'll kick you off if you start going over 30gb's downloaded in a month, even less if its uploading.
Hence why i'm on telus, the 2.5mpbs package (which runs at 2.1mpbs at my house) for 45 a month, soon to be 49.95. But they don't have bandwidth limites. They have a cheaper package for 25 bux for the first year then 35 a month after that at a speed of 1.5mpbs, but that was a little slow and actually ran at 1.2mbps for me. Btw this is DSL. -

$99/month for 1.5Mb-6Mb down and 384Kb/s up, actual = 5Mb down and 500Kbs up. SBC Global-PacBell in California
This is so much fun! -
I live in the good old Silicon Valley and I pay 26.95 for 1.2 Mb, SBC. I am in the same boat as most of the California posters.
By the way while we are on the subject, I would have respected SBC more if they had just left it Pac Bell Park. You SF Giants fans out there know what I am talking about. Candlestick was bad enough.
Thinking about switching to Comcast Cable Internet just out of spite. That'll teach them! :P
I am a newbie, are there any baseball/sports fans out here? Or are my rantings falling on deaf ears??? -
If the equipment is already in place to provide a 1 meg line, what more needs to be done to turn it into a 4 meg line?
I just don't follow the BT bosses argument about liquid bandwidth - he's making a fuss over his products, calling them 'liquid bandwidth', when they are the minimum spec of everyone else!Regards,

And believe it or not. The physical limit is 169 megabytes per 12 hours. Any more than that, they slow you down to modem speeds. This can be played a little bit once you learn how."It is not enough to obey Big Brother. You must love him". -
I pay $29.95 for 2mb a sec on Charter. But I sure do miss my smokin' dial-up!!!!
A kiss on the hand might be quite continental, but tactical nukes are a boy's best friend -
Kolosus,
I missed "in a 12 hour period". Sorry. But that gives you a cap of 5 gigs a month.
Was a little interested in DirecPC years ago, but didn't want to choose either 6 PM-6AM, or vice versa package. and limit on DL, pay by meg over that. And pay extra for time in the other package hours.
Could run up quite abill, there.
Course that was their whole idea, wasn't it?
Cheers,
George -
