    I'm paying about 1700 INR a month for a 4Mbps connection (25 Gig data transfer limit per month). No yearly contracts available with my provider. So, it's about 440 USD a if I calculate it for a year.

    It's time for a new sig. Seriously.

    Which provider have you signed up with. That's a pretty good deal provided you get atleast 75% of the mentioned speed. I just got the Photon+ as I needed a mobile option. It's kinda ok, nothing great to harp about.

      In Jordan, generally speaking, everything costs way more than it should with respect to your income. So I'm just comparing internet connectivity prices. I have an offer for 2 Mbps WiMax internet (wireless because Orange the monopolistic infrastructure owner here bites hard) with no transfer caps would set me back about $500 USD a year (345 JOD / year) and I would add another $80 USD for each static IP address or $500 USD per subnet of 4 addresses with two being reserved and two usable. So, in my specific case, I'll be coughing up $500USD tomorrow for a year, and because I'm friends with the sales person's brother, he's being a pal and is waiving the base station deposit fee. What do you get for the same amount (equivalent) where you live or how much would it cost to get what I just described?

      I have 7Mbps down, 1Mbps up, for who knows? Seriously, full price is $52/month, promo price is $42/month, but I apparently wasn't eligible for the latter even though the phone company let me change to it, so they put me on some other promo where I pay $15 a month for a while then $35 a month for a while and then some other price. I've given up trying to figure the damn thing out.

            Though I'm not the one paying the bill... $40 a month for their "DSL Elite" package. (Up to 6 Mbps downstream, Up to 768 Kbps upstream with one dynamic IP address.) The only time our internet ever goes out, is when our cats unplug the modem.

              I live in Northern California and pay $38/mo (including regulatory fees etc) for 15mbps down and 3mbps up with no caps (which in practice is more often 20/4 mbps), via a cable provider. At the end of the first 6 months it will go up to $58/mo. I figure that's pretty good for what I'm getting :) If I wanted to go with a cheaper plan I could get economy internet - 1.5 down and 384k up - for about $40/mo. X| I used to have DSL and it was about $35/mo for 3 down and 0.5 up.

                £90 a year, no caps, "up to 8Mb" but I can only get 3 in my area.

                  Comcast. I only subscribe to their internet plan - no TV or digital voice.

                          Any download caps? How fast? Support? I'm betting it beats what I have here by miles.
