Surprisingly it's free - yet my apartment seems to be cheap on everything else... I don't really even get hot water here.

I have the highest I can get in this hole. I'd move if it wasn't so cheap here...

^can i ask you guys something, if you guys get those speeds at less than 100$ how much speed would you get for 10$ a month? it seems stupid but hey its practically free internet.

I think ours is $80 a month. It's with TV and phone though, so I'm really not sure.
Either way, it's stupid expensive, but that's Canada for you.

My ISP offers two cheap plans - if you can get FTTH then for $3.5/month you can get 10mbps (but can only use it for 5 days, each additional day is $0.7 so for $10 total you can get 14 days total). For $14/month you can get 50mbps (and can use it all the time).
If you cannot get FTTH, then for $3.5 you get 5 days of 1mbps, for $10.6 you get unlimited 2mbps and for $14 you get 4mbps.

The ISP is quite busy laying new fiber - they want to drop DSL completely.

If you can get another FTTH ISP, then for $10.6 you could get 20mbps on-peak (10:00-23:59), 100mbps off-peak and 100mbps all the time to other computers inside the country.

lol anything under 20$ would be really affordable, at per month basis its practically free imho who doesn't have a spare 1$ a day XD

but really your area has monstrous speeds for a cheap price, wish my area had at least 20$/month at 10mbps on-peak.

In my room.

In the living room.

On the line.

I pay ~17.50$ a month kitamesume

General consumer plans are roughly: ~12$/mo for a 50Mbps line, ~18 for a 100Mbps line and ~30-35 for a 300Mbps line.

Yeah that's England for you, you need to go on a business connection to get higher.

Since i have servers the high download speed is useful, i can download films from it at full speed so i don't care for upload speed on my home connection to much

I would never know what to do with all that intrawebs speedz.

I'm not even going to bother because my connection is like 16/4

It's like electricity: better to have more power bandwidth than to hope the fuses don't blow from a momentary surge. There are so many occasions where my connection is merely 1/13th of what I really need.

NaRu · « **Reply #517 on:** August 05, 2012, 04:31:48 PM »

The main reason why I need very fast internet is because I have like 5 computers in my house. Everyone that lives with me all use the internet and I don't want my speed to drop because of other people.

I want faster upload because I run my game server still
