    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

        OK, at the office we have a leased ISDN line (I think), which is shared between all the employees. But as the software group is about the only people who use the internet, that limits it down to 5 (except for out e-mail which goes once/30 mins). Not sure of the cost. But I get to use it for free :-D At home I have a dial-up ISP connection with Demon internet at £17/month. Its a waste of money at the moment, as I dont get to use my home PC. But if I do connect I get about 45kbs. I do use the work connection to play the odd game of counter-strike :-D :-D :-D Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016 If I had a quote, it would be a very good one.

            I pay about £15 / month ( $20 US ish ) for unlimited 512kbit cable broadband in the Uk, which I share between 2 PCs (and any other computers I have hooked into the router at the time) I don't know how I'd cope if they introduced any kind of bandwidth quota -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

                Work: 4 channels (256k) of a T1 for about $350/mo. Shared via a proxy server to over 50 PCs. Unlimited data transfer. Home: 1.5Mb/sec DL & .5Mb/sec UL via cable modem for $50/mo. Shared via SMC Barricade router/switch to 4 PCs. Includes 10Mb of web space and up to 5 e-mailboxes. Unlimited data transfer. If my cable company (AT&T) ever institutes a transfer limit or start charging per MB, I will hunt down their corporate officers and torture them until they cease and desist. :mad: :mad: Mike Mullikin "Thank you America, every night I see increasingly stupid things happening here in Australia.

                    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

                            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!

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.

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

                                        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!

                                        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.


                                        A dirty mind is a joy forever.
