ISP pricing
-
What are fees like round the world and who is paying the most. I have had to sharply cut back on my internet activities because at work the department that provides internet services has recently started charging the other units on a per Meg basis. (Limiting my visits to CP):(( At home I pay about 45$ per month for a broadband connection shared among 3 computers allowing unlimited data transfer. At work, Off Peak Hours: 7.8 cents per Meg, Peak Hours: 78 cents per Meg. Only an obscenely biological act could describe how I feel about this.:mad: Brad Manske
My Internet connection is free. It's a dial-up but I don't d/l huge files, so it's not big deal for me. I used to tech-support an ISP and they let me have an account for life. It's the least they could do because if you have ever done tech support -- it sucks. Jeremy L. Falcon "You do not know the power of the dumb side." Homepage : Sonork = 100.16311

I'm not being too badly overcharged - USD 20 for 2Mbps, unlimited. But I recently did a little favor for the ISP, so the next five months are free:-D

Not exactly:-D I repaired his misbehaving access point, restoring service to a bunch of customers (most importantly, myself) and saving him a second trip across the river on a rainy Sunday afternoon. The timing was perfect, it being the only significant rain that afternoon we've had in a year :laugh:

For the first 6 months I pay $20 a month for the AT&T cable modem after that it goes up to about $45. Astound is offering it for $35. I don't think I signed a contract so I'm thinking about switching at the end of 6 months. I'm a little scared though. I'd loose my email address and I'd have to redo my website. I like AT&T's service. What if Astound's service sucks? Is anyone else using the Astound service? Any insight would be appreciated. :confused: Cathy Life's uncertain, have dessert first!

I used their template stuff. I don't think it would be transferable. I'll try. It's only $10 a month. Is it worth it? Cathy Life's uncertain, have dessert first!
Cathy wrote: I used their template stuff. That may be a problem, especially if they're using a lot of server-side stuff you can't steal. But you can save each page in your inetpub/wwwroot folder and manually patch the links. Tedious, yes, but it can be done more easily than rebuilding from scratch. Cathy wrote: It's only $10 a month. Is it worth it? That's up to you. If you don't have a domain registered, I think Yahoo's geocities still offers webhosting for free. If you do, or want to register a domain, check out ReadyHosting.com. They charge $99/year, provide 500MB of space, unlimited email addresses and aliases, and if you register a new domain through them, they renew your registration for free as long as you still maintain a site on their system.

$39.99/month for cable TV and internet. All the bandwidth I want... :cool: Josh Knox that-guy.net

It appears I'm on the same package as Josh. Oh and that's C$, so like $27/mo. David http://www.dundas.com

Can't you use any of these webleech? The most basic option would be the "Make available offline" of IE. This one won't work with server-side scripts (rather it does work, but not for you ;) - but there might be others that do. Of course, there's the legal problem of using their templates graphics layout etc. for your site.
