How much do you pay for your internet?
-
Had a discussion with my wife that claimed, as usual, that everything is so much cheaper everywhere else. So I thought I need to find out how the reality looks like, as opposed to the best case that she read about. So my questions are: What type and speed of internet do you have? How much does it cost? Where do you live? (City, suburbia, small town or countryside) I'm having 100Mb fiber that costs approx. $30/month and I live in a suburb.

Funny, I always thought you were based in the US. Sounds seriously overpriced.

Well, it also comes with three IP phone numbers and probably a bunch of streaming stuff (which doesn't at 5meg, and online storage which I don't use, and maybe an email address or two which I also don't use.) (I'm a US person working for the US Army here, soon to be retired and then living in Romania.)

I live in the boonies of upper-state NY. The only provider in my area is Mid-Hudson Cable. Check out their outrageous prices: [Pricing | Mid-Hudson Cable](http://www.mhcable.net/pricing/) The base rate I pay is $75/mo, not including fees, taxes, etc., that they hit you up with, so it comes out to almost $100/mo. :sigh:

Nearly the same conditions. 20€ but 20 Mb/s and telephony. Tip: when it comes to saving some money tweaking small things only helps little, savings will be done be the expensive things like buying a smaller car or moving to cheaper house/flat. And alway compare at least 3 offers when signing a contract and ask friends for experiences.:thumbsup:

Cable company provides mine in a city of approx 100k people. No data limit, 100 up / 5 down, consumer accounts runs about $80USD per month plus tax and fees. Mine costs about $100USD +tax/fees because I have a business account. Got that after a series of storms kept knocking out my internet due to a leak in the junction box. The business SLA forces them to respond to outages on my line in under 24 hours. Otherwise it would be "when they had time" which sometimes meant 4 or 5 days later after things had dried up and the problems resolved themselves.

Verizon FIOS (fiber) 50Mb down / 50Mb up, $40 base + abt. $5 tax, suburb The majority of speed test sites rate it slightly higher (about 55/55). The exception is Comcast's test site, which I do not believe. It rates it at about 55/20.

This probably resulted in this: - No matter how many examples you provide: You are wrong. - Even worse: It's somehow all your fault now. - You now are in the doghouse until you learn to behave yourself. - It's now up to you how you express your regret for the things you did. As long as it involves bringing home flowers.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

- Yes - Yes. Especially since I'm the reason she left Germany, I'm the scapegoat for everything. It only sounds different when in Germany. - Don't think so. Unless she reads the line above. - Probably a good idea anyway. I thought you weren't married. :laugh:

My internet is about the same as yours and costs the same in my part of suburbia. But I stopped worrying about what my wife thinks. I was single before I met her and she keeps making me feel that was the better situation.

I find the difference in speed vs pricing very odd. I can choose between 1, 10, 100, 250 and 1000Mb/s, with the difference in price similar to your 100, 125, 150, 175 and 200 Mb/s. I have to say I'm glad that we have a law over here that states that the final price (including taxes and fees) must always be stated.

I'm not, but I can learn quickly from other's misfortune.

If a man speaks in a forest and his wife isn't around to hear it - is he still wrong? I knew when I married her that she would be Mrs Right - I just didn't know her first name was Always.

They all are. That's how they are programmed.

here in the northern bits of johannesburg, we have 25mb fibre at home. supposed to be 50GB cap, but we were told it's uncapped until they get a client portal so you can track your usage. it's been over a year now, so i'm assuming they forgot. this costs me R706 a month ($47.85). the actual uncapped package is R361 ($24.47) more. internet has never really been cheap in south africa.
