Re: What do you pay for your :: Internet Connection?

€55 a month for unlimited 2MB ADSL.
Demon Internet Netherlands.

For that I also get 20MB webspace (which I hardly ever use but it comes in handy for things like sigfiles and stuff), the option to run my own mailserver (which I do), a fixed IP address and (sub)domain name, webmail service for when I'm away from home, etc. etc. etc.

Not the cheapest option but I've only had about 3 hours outage since signing up with them in 1998, worth quite something to me.

Re: What do you pay for your :: Internet Connection?

Hello,

Connection Type: Cable Modem, although it is not a modem.
Connection Speed: They just raised it... getting 500 kilobytes / second
Cost Per Month: $45 USD
Country: United States of America
Name Of ISP: Roadrunner

Internet connection goes into a Linux server that does amazing things. My MRTG data shows that it has been alive damn near 100 percent. I love it. We have the option of having Cable without the television subscription, so we do not have Cable TV.

Re: What do you pay for your :: Internet Connection?

I rarely use the features that come w/ my internet connection (besides internet ) so I'm not aware of many of them; pop3 account and webmail are only 2 of the few that I know of.

Anyways, I'm in Canada, and it's $44.95 CAD with no maximum monthly limit, and 5000/800 speeds.

In US using Roadrunner at 5Mbps for $44 per month. Quite a difference from my ADSL connection in Spain during previous years which was about $100 permonth for 512K/128K

Re: What do you pay for your :: Internet Connection?

I have mediacom, that downloads at like 380 kb/s, and pay 55$ a month. It took 3 months for mediacom to finally come out and hook us up with cable, and we couldn't go with anybody else, because they were the only provider in the area. If I had a choice, I would definately go with roadrunner.

Re: What do you pay for your :: Internet Connection?

I am on dial up unfortunately and it costs me $99.00 annually. Free email and virus/spyware protection, plus free games (which I never play) and external hd space on a secure server plus a bunch of other stuff that I dont understand.

WOW

If I had a 5.1Mb connection I'd hit that 20GB transfer once a week!

I currently transfer around 10GB every 2 weeks.
