Price Check
-
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.

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.

I'm using Airtel broadband (fixed line).
It's time for a new sig. Seriously.

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.

And who is your cable provider?

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