How much do you pay for internet?

[BuddTX]

10.83 a month from www.ev1.net
Would love to have road runner cable access, but 40-55 a month is too much.

$16.95 dial-up (AT&T Worldnet) with 150 hours per month limit, on our only telephone line. We are very light users at home and have connections at work. I recently dumped MSN after the free year that came with the computer. That was a good move. I am satisfied with the connection and am too cheap to go to broadband at this point. That may change when the kids get older.

By the way, my cable bill is about $11/month also. I guess I'm cheap.

Just happened to be paying the bill right now. AT&T Broadband...$45.95/month before taxes.

Verizon DSL. $40. 128k up and 768k down. Can pay $60 for 1.5 meg down. Would never go back to dial up. Would give up the cable TV first if it came down to that.

I have Verizon DSL also. The same plan as you do. Do you know of anyone that has the faster plan? Is it worth the cost difference? If we wanted to upgrade to that higher service can it be done online, using the same equipment?

My wife reported that we now pay about $45 for the Internet part, and that's with the cable-TV bundle. It keeps going up as the local monopoly ISP gets bigger and bigger
(MediaOne -> AT&T -> Comcast)
Price for same service went something like
(35 -> 40 -> 45)
over something like 3 years. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

BTW: I bought the cheapest cable-modem I could find that was DOCSIS-blahblah compatible, (BestData) and I swear the speed is better than the Toshiba rental unit.

$55 a month for aesynchronous cable modem RCN. That means capped at 1.25 meg download and phone line upload. I was getting 6meg down until they capped it. I have a second phone line because I'm always connected.
my package includes basic cable. I gave the installer guy $20 and he expanded me /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

$45 for RoadRunner.

 

[Entropy]

Currently $50 for OptimumOnline without cable service (Give or take $5, I can't remember.)

My apartment up at school last year had RoadRunner *INCLUDED IN THE RENT* in addition to all other utilities (basic cable TV, electricity, gas, water) free except for landline telephone.

Before that we used a NAT router to obtain an average of $12/month/person for cable modem + premium cable + HBO. (14-person house.)

god I miss college...

$14.50 for BellSouth dial-up. I can't get high speed where I live.

I have 1MB down/200K up. Bandwidth shaping so you get 3MB down for the first few seconds of each transfer. So web browsing goes FAST. 10 email addresses. 20MB web space. 3 IPs. CableOne. $49 if I were paying for it. No I'm not stealing it. I have installed over 400 cable modems in this town so they give me free service.

For those interested. I have a very good relationship with CableOne so we tried this. They set the system to allow me 10Mb up and down and we tried some bandwidth tests.

Motorola Surfboard capped at 7.2Mb
Toshiba...6.2Mb
USR...7.4Mb
D-Link...4.5Mb
Linksys...5.8Mb
Best Data...6.9Mb

Didn't get to try the Zoom or RCA modems.


Best regards,
Randy

DON´T ASK!

[darkgear.com]

Ha! I got free too and I can't actually tell you how much bandwidth I really have. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[Spork]

I thought toshiba was suspose to be the best modem. I pay 45 dollars a month for insightbb. works great. I'm using a dlink router and it works fine too. 45 isnt paying much more than if you had a dedicated line and dial up isp.

We live about 2 miles too far to get cable, and about a light-year away from DSL. So the only options are 28K dial-up or satellite. Since I am a cheap S*B, and since my work paid for the second phone line so I can work at home if need be, I use dial-up. I connect to my work server so my internet is free, too. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif In case you're wondering, I'm also cheap when it comes to TV. We get CBS, NBC, and "The WB" over a rooftop antenna. 3 whole channels to connect us to the world! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mecry.gif We read alot. We keep reading about all this Y2K stuff. When it gets here, I hope we'll be ready! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif

I pay £35 a month for a 1MB Cable line from NTL. Worth every penny!

In British Columbia, Canada, Telus (the phone company in BC and Alberta) offers 1.5 mbps ADSL for Cdn$34.95 (US$23.61) per month if you're a Telus long distance customer too. In the two provinces, they have about 600,000 ADSL customers.

I opted in to Juno dial-up a few years back, when their gold service was discounted at $4.95 per month for a while. I'm still paying that.

It's slower than wide-band, but I'm willing to wait a little for the difference in cost, although I don't know how long I'll choose to hold out - the web pages continue to get bigger and slower. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon23.gif

 

[gyverpete]

I've had Juno Gold for years too. I signed up for their free service first for a few months but then got an offer to upgrade to Gold when they had it for $2.95/mo unlimited use, and I still have it for that price. They charge my card once a year.
I'm happy with it, never get bumped off line and no floating ad. I figure, though, that eventually they will "ungrandfather" me out of the deal.

 

[PaulW]

Hey gyverpete, I think you have the lowest. Tough to beat that price.
