                1 meg download 265k Upload. 50:1 contention ratio and a 10 Gig per month bandwidth limit (although any usage between 1 am and 6 am is not metered). £20 per month. But its only 1 meg because of where i live. If i was in town it would be 2 meg download for the same price and if the exchange was 8 meg enabled and i lived in town i would have that for the same price. Jon

                  I use RoadRunner from Time Warner Cable, if you already have cable service the cost is $44.95 per month (USD). Unlimited upload / download, and speedwise I get about 5.0 Mbps downstream and 384 Kbps upstream. Gary Flickr Photos[^]

                    Its how many people could potentially be sharing that bandwidth. 50:1 is the standard in the UK for most home or cheaper business packages. If you pay more you can get 25:1 on business packages. Jon

                      Here, they give you only a single IP per line. If you want to put a router, and behind that, put 2,000 users, that's your problem.

                          Same here. It relates to the sharing at the exchange i think. I am not sure how it works technically but that is pretty much the definition you get on the ISP's website. It doesnt seem to make much difference as my download speeds can be pretty fast. Jon

                                          I don't have a PC, but for my family in Coimbatore: Dialup connection 56kbps Roughly Rs. 5 - 6 per hour for the ISP Standard local charges for the telephone provider. Vary depending upon your plan, but generally Re. 1 to Rs 1.20 per minute. :(( Cheers, Vikram.

                                          Ouch! That's extremely expensive! From the Churchdown Parish Magazine: "Would the Congregation please note that the bowl at the back of the Church, labelled 'For The Sick,' is for monetary donations only."
