comcast $60

by decjr - 5/10/06 8:12 PM In reply to: How much do YOU pay for Broadband? by boringcom

$60 provided by Comcast Cable in Fremont, CA; according to the speed test from www.dslreports.com:

4036 / 266
Your download speed : 4036 kbps or 504.5 KB/sec.
That is 19.6% worse than an average user on comcast.net
Your upload speed : 266 kbps or 33.3 KB/sec.
That is 33.8% worse than an average user on comcast.net

I'm on a retention plan from Rogers in Canada for the next 6 months.

24.99/month for 6mbps down/800kbps up.

All I have to do is call them in 6 months and if they don't give me a lower price than 47.99/month, I will switch to their competitor who gives the first 3 months for 9.99/month and 29.99/month thereafter.

High Speed?

by HD1080p - 5/13/06 9:01 AM In reply to: How much do YOU pay for Broadband? by boringcom

Well I pay about $45:00 Canadian for "Unlimited download"
Usual speed is around 4820kbps UP and around 485kbps DOWN. This seems to be adequate for my needs and is, I think, a fair price. Plus we get really good support.

Interesting. Which provider?

I pay $56 Canadian, tax-in, for capped downloads and uploads (20 GB down, 10 GB up), 5.1 Mbps down (I've seen sustained downloads at 590 KBps ~= 4720 Kbps) and 900 Kpbs up. (Montreal; Videotron)

Who's you're provider and where are you located?

Broadband in The Bahamas

by icarus242 - 5/13/06 11:14 AM In reply to: How much do YOU pay for Broadband? by boringcom

I pay $55.70 per month flat fee, for unlimited usage. I get 768 kb/s upload speeds and 3 MB/s download speeds plus 6 free e-mail accounts. This is from the local cable TV company which means that you also have to get cable TV at $37 per month.

I'm paying R$149 (Around US$70) for a 8MB down 0.5MB up.

I can download 60GB a month and upload as much as I want.

If I download more than 60GB my speed goes to 200kbps until the end of the month.

You must be using the wrong rates for CDN to USD becasue $56 CDN is around $50 USD.

Cable speeds are not consistent.
I think DSL is less, but no other alternative.
Really wish I knew if Earthlink was less expensive ... heh heh heh
