Hi
I want to check something and was hoping you guys could help. Could you please tell me the amount it costs for internet in your country, if you've got broadband, give the speed and the amount you pay , the size of your cap e.g 1Gb, 2Gb. and how much that costs. And if possible tell me how much the money you're spending on internet connection is worth. And if you have normal dial up tell me how much it costs per month just to stay connected.

Is this like a project for school or something?


I have US Cable Powered by Warp Drive Online, I have their 'Sonic' plan, which is 5 Mbit downstream, 550Kbps upstream. I pay $34.95 a month.

I also work for a cable provider, SCI Broadband, which serves greater Minnesota including a lot of low penetration areas.

In the larger towns we offer 4Mbit down, 384Kbps up service for $39.95 USD a month, but smaller towns our fastest service is 784Kbps down, 384Kbps up for the same price.

US Cable and SCI both do not have official caps in the TOS for the services.

I have two:

Cable: Telewest

4Mbit down, 384Kbps up, no cap = £25 p/m


ADSL: Orange

2Mbit down, about 200Kbps up, 2GB p/m cap = £FREE with my mobile phone.


I want an uncapped service which is why I still pay for my cable connection but I couldn't pass up a free 2Mbit line too biggrin.gif

well it was easy, my first thought was hookers, but you can't get a hooker (well, not a good one, and your a man with class), for 16 bucks, so whiskey it was.

If I lived in my firm's service area, I could get Digital Television, VoIP Telephone, and Broadband Internet completely free.

I'm about 30 miles away unfortunately, I do get free phone however since their service is just like Vonage with an MTA adapter and such.


I'm putting serious thought into moving to Hinckley solely for the savings.
