How much is your Internet costing?

Optimum Online Boost $55 A Month

Speedtest.net has my speeds tested at.

26.76 mb/sec download

5.25 mb/sec upload

Ping 6 ms

:toast:
 
Mine just went up to $75 and service quality just down 20%...and yeah I have roadrunner turbo with generic POWERBOOST

I hate Time Warner, but I bitched enough about the service they're giving me the turbo for 34.95 for as long as I want. I'd recommend making some calls.
 
50mb Down/ 10Mbp up. $100 a month.

250gb DL limit.....with throttling from comcast...yay.
 
$55 a month 18Mb/1.5Mb
 
comcast = 16/8, included with my TV and phone, but broken down about 55-60 per month, before taxes. 250GB cap....comcast is so wonderful :p
 
it's about 10 euro/month for this:

£14 pound a month for 10mb internets.

Only get 500 kb for upload speed though ( 60 kbs max)

Have no limits at all though, can download gigabytes upon gigabytes.

I don't get throttled often either ( ISP is virgin media)

Must be nice.


I would like to see the numbers on how much Throttling helps. I find it stupid, "Hey buy our extreme package! Get high Speed 50x Faster than anyone! Then get throttled down once you exceed you maximum speed by 75% for 15minutes and get throttled for the next 15! Oh 250GB limit reached! Sorry wait till next month!"

Yea...weak...
 
Ahhh but thing is, when I am throttled its to 100kbs, which is a massive pain.

a 90% reduction XD

Only happens when I've ben downloading big files the entire week though.
 
(8MB)
768Kb/s down
45Kb/s up

£17.99 a month

Capped to 700MB usage between 4pm and 9pm, weekdays.
Capped to 700MB usage between 10am and 9pm, weekends.

Unlimited, apparently, but i downloaded my whole steam (was about 40GB) when i got my PC... so that capped us to 56kb for the week...

Darn't download anything illegal (unless it has little seeders) as they are the leaders of anti-piracy.

Want to get a better internet (Sky) but my area is a village and the guy from Sky said there no chance of the area being upgraded before 2011.

And the ISP in question... well who... Virgin Media
 
Distributel (quebec,canada)

5mb 29.99$ a month no contract and totally unlimited :nutkick:sympatico and videotron
 
16mb down
0.5mb up

no DL limits

£17.99 per month

Virgin Media
 
Well, I've got a €33/month package...

- All fixed landline calls are free
- Included is internet @ 4Mbps with 25GB download limit
- 400 free minutes when calling from cellphone to 3 pre-chosen numbers
- Some TV package but I don't care what it is since only hubby watches TV

This pic would explain it better:

My parents have some sort of tv/phone/mobile/internet bundle too.

Cheap as hell because we have the freeview package from virgin XD ( free)
 
Moscow, $25 for 30Gb. 100Mb/s

I get 40mb down and 1.5mb up. But i pay nill lol!

I'm a cheeky badger and use a couple of cloned modems with load balancing on virmin media.

It's hard to set up and doesn't work 100% all of the time, but its good for torrents, etc. When i want to game i just run the one modem tho.

I'm intrigued...

I cant really go into details to be honest. But if you google for "unlocker forums" there is lots of info on there.

But it only works in cable areas, if you have adsl only then forget it lol.

Basically virgin media run very old software on their modems which is easy to alter for your own needs!

I wasn't expecting 'details' ;)

Don't want you to get an infraction, or for Virgin to punish us...

I'm ADSL... and a pathetic version at that. I'll have a gander though. Either my net, router or bitcomet is fail as i've portforwarded hundreds of times and i still get like 17 out of 18,000 seeders...
 
Here in Aus, you cant get Unlimited Broadband downloads unlike the USA, so you have to look around for the best possible speed/amount of downloads possible for your area. In my area i can only run ADSL 1 which means i can go only to a max speed of 1500/256.

So i am with EXETEL 1500/256 Speed with 72GB a month download usage for $45.

Parents are with Internode 1500/256 speed 50GB a month download usage for $50. (There next door so i leech of theres to ;) )
