                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.

                    Atlantic broadband cable. $40/mo. On paper I've got 1.5down, 160 up. In practice I get 2.5/300 (no I haven't reversed the theoretical/actual numbers).

                              I have DSL through SBC (AT&T). I have the 384 - 1500 Kbps download (128 - 384 Kbps upload) plan, and my throughput is at the 1500 Kbps because my house is about 200 feet from the CO. My plan is tied into my local and long distance land-line phone service. I pay $86 per month (which includes taxes) for the DSL as well as unlimited nationwide local and long distance calling.

                                    You surely meant 400 MB? BSNL is much cheaper, 256 kbps (download) and a 0.4 GB limit for Rs. 250 ($5.5) and a 1 GB limit for Rs. 500 ($10) (BSNL Tariff[^]) Regards Senthil _____________________________ My Blog | My Articles | WinMacro

                                      Plusnet might be worth a look, they were another close contender for me. £15 for 2Mbit.
