How much do YOU pay for internet access?

[Neliah]

I pay 45 DKK ($6,60 - €6,03 - £4,26), quite a nice price for 100/100 connection that is included in my rent, and shared with 5 other people that never uses their computers

[Kathranis]

My mom lives in a small town, pays $40/m for 1.5 Mbps DSL and $20/m for the phoneline she only uses for DSL, so $60/m. Pretty awful.

An hour away in Austin we can get 5 Mbps for "free" ($300 installation + $25/m for a year) or 1 Gbps for $70/m through Google Fiber.

[Elim Garak]

100Mb/s both directions for 12 euro/mo, no limitations, plug the cable in a router and do whatever you want with the bandwidth: as many computers as you want, Wifi, IPTV, etc.

P.S. There's an option for 300Mb/s for 20 euro/mo, but I'm not feeling uncomfortable with 100Mb yet. Plus other ISP are coming to the area offering up to 1Gb/s for 40 euro/mo, but that's too much. Will wait it out so more offers like that are on the market and prices go down.

optic fiber 100/100 Mbits 25€ with unlimited downloads.

Never knew that internet was so slow and expensive in the US

[mrgreenthump]

€8, 100/10, Finland.

10/1 is free. Gotta love Finland.

Student housing ftw?

[Death Warrior]

60 euro a month for 25 mbits optic fibers. Quite expansive.

[Kuja]

75€ every 2 months for a 1500 ish download and 50 ish upload.

[aesthir]

Poor Americans with their awful internets.

In Europe it's cheap because our governments pay for almost all the costs involved in laying high speed cables (which makes up the majority of the cost) and we have a very high population density.

In America their government doesn't invest as much in infrastructure & they have much lower population density. This means that the ISPs have a much much larger cost of business, which gets passed onto consumers.

Say what?? Which company? Sorry but I don't believe 10£ per month

[Dch48]

We pay $52 for the Internet (60 meg download), $95 for HD TV, and $20 for the Phone over IP. It's like $180/month for everything.

[S7orm]

45€/mo for 7M/700k, 40kbps MCR (no guaranteed uptime), 3-5 days fix time

this happens when private corps. take government funds and spends them lobbying their monopoly instead of building infrastructures

[Vash The Stampede]

Holy shit, it is times like this where I'm reminded how fucking awful our internet is compared to Europeans (both in terms of speed and price).

Australians have it real bad and even Canada has it worse than US. But if you really want your head to explode look up South Korea. Even Hong Kong has pretty good speed. The people from Tek Syndicate actually went there recently and were blown away from their internet speeds and said America should be ashamed.

[Harry Botter]

The wife and I pay $125 a month for 50mb/s internet, home phone and 250 some odd channels. Which is a freaking great deal compared to where we moved from where we only had satellite internet that was capped at 20gb a month for what we pay for everything now.

100/10 fiber, $52.

It's pretty expensive and the provider is kinda shit. There are no other alternatives in my area since my current provider bought my old one. Yay for Monopoly!

[TaintedOne]

Then it's a MONOPOLY rip-off. It's definition of ULTRA rip-off. Aren't there antimonopoly laws? I know in EU there are!

Also i don't know what can you solve by calling them, since you can't do nothing else and they will just laugh or i don't know, but you can try i guess.

This sums up the state of ISP's in America

[Wing Zero]

$56 a month 75 up 75 down

[Shakadam]

I have 100/100 mbps included in my rent for the apartment, so I pay nothing extra for internet.

[Gamer2k1]

Paying $60 a month for that speed, its perfect for my needs

[Rixis]

£26(or 28) for 80/20 totally unlimited.

[Master Guns]

I pay 47$ a month (US) for like 35 Mbps. It's about 4-5 MB/s actual download speed. Like 12 latency though. And that's wifi. Wired I get like 10-12 MB/s.

[Deleted]

I pay around £75/month for 1000 landline minutes to all non-09 numbers, all channels but the premium ones, and 152Mb/s down, 40Mb/s up (unlimited, traffic-shaping during period of high-demand.) The part that's directly attributable to the internet access drops it to around £15/month just fro the web access.
