    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.

    65Mb down, 17Mb upload, no usage limits. Paying £25/month (USD32). This is fibre to the cabinet + copper to the house. Watford, UK about 1.5 miles from exchange.

      - 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:

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

      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.

        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.

            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.

                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.

                      200MBs down and 25MBs upload. Pay whooping 70 Euro. Well, I live in Switzerland, near Zurich. Everything is expensive here :(

                            As an example from outside the US, we (UK) have 100Mb (advertised 60-80Mb achievable) fiber to cabinet, copper to house (<100M) for £46 ($60) but that includes a phone line and TV. Its difficult here to get internet not bundled with phone and TV. We are in a suburb.

                              35€/month, 25 Mb/s, city. Yeah, I overpay a huge lot for what I'm getting.

                                For the longest time it was around $89/month for 100M connection (with no data limits). Lately they're charging about $65 for the same thing. We're out beyond the suburbs which might explain that. Our provider always extremely reliable so I don't mind the $65, we don't pay for any of the other TV services.

                                    I am a Comcast subscriber, but I do not share your cynicism about their speed tests. Their results are virtually identical to what I get from my SamKnows box.

                                      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:

                                      It doesn't seem too bad. We live in the the foothills of the Sierra's in California and we pay $125 for 15MB down 2MB up and that's when it works at full speed most of the time it's slower.

                                        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.

                                        I live in mumbai suburbs and pay about $10 a month for 10Mbps (actual speed around 4Mbps to 6Mbps, upload speed 1Mbps)

                                          Well I get half that speed for double the price. It seems like you have the best deal I've heard of :|
