That's probably your modem/router connection speed there Laurence (100mbps)
Here in australia i pay about $40 a month for 256/64 (Yeah i know ) with 20gb of download limit.

Not really efficient if you ask me but i'm going to stay like this until i can get adsl2+ hooked up.
I'm hoping to pay about $80 a month for the full speed 24/1mbps with 40gb of downloads, thats way more efficient cost wise. Plus the isp i'm going with also has dedicated overseas links so i can expect little loading speeds

My connection cost me 54 €/ Month and it's a mobile conection of 1mbps the first 1G data transfer.

Later of use the 1giga data transfer it goes down 356kbps...

It's not really fast, but I think I've got a good connection ^^.

*gasp and faints* I didn't know there were still people using 28.8 kbps. Shocking. Scary. I don't know what to feel. o.O And $20 at that! You really, really need better Internet service.



Hey, that's what I use! AOL, 56 kbps. *cough* It's not wonderful. My dad's paying approximately $22 (Canadian) for it. We're looking for something to switch to, but so far, we haven't had time to actually put some effort into looking for a better, faster ISP. I want to leave - soon - though. AOL is more annoying than it's worth. It boots me offline for no reason and forces me to keep an extra window open. It's wasting my taskbar estate. >_> And it uses IE to render its pages in its browser. (Ew.)

My broadband is a package with my phone.
We had the phone line for years and got a broadband package with it.
The whole lot cost $60 AUSD a month. With free line rental. We also got a free 4 port modem and free installation.
The broadband is 512 kbps and is reasonabbly good.
When I first got it I had a few problems, especially setting it up. turned out it was their fault so they fixed it in about 15 minutes. Once it was working there were a few problems but they also got fixed.
My internet is great value considering it comes with my phone too.

i pay about 20$

speed 128 kb/s

it's nice to me

Considering the fact that the internet infrastructure in my country is not so developed yet, i would say, 80bucks for 512K connection is heaven here. Expensive, but ok enough.
That's what i pay

Is your internet speed good enough vs. cost
Is Your Internet Speed Good Enough Vs. Cost ?

Well I'm right next to houston, so a fast connection is relatively cheap. I just ran a speed test and got 8.3 mbs down and 530 kbps up. Its 4 in the afternoon so it will probably be a little slow, but w/e. Tonight ill run the test and see if we really get 2mbs upload as advertised. Btw, it costs 90$ a month and we get TV and internet. I love america

I am currently on an Optus Cable plan (Australia), 2837 kbs download and 232 kbs upload. The cost of the plan is AU$69.99 monthly (we get 3 months free as bundled with mobile), including 12GB onpeak and 24GB offpeak usage.

I have high speed DSL that is a bundled package with phone and DirectTV. So I am very impressed with the quality of speed that I have. I used to have Cable Broadband with local RoadRunner, but that was when I lived in town. Now I am a bit farther out, and so I use DSL. But I have a new home, and I have my lines dug out, and it runs low below the highway too. So I don't seem to have too much traffic, (no pun intended), and the noise is very low, too.
