ISP Do you get what you are paying for?

[Knasson]

I was watching WAN show today, and the chat was very clear about their ISP were too expensive.

 

So what are you paying for the internet where you live?

 

 

I live in Sweden and i use PirateISP and i pay $42 for 100/100 

 

 

 

>ISP

>PirateISP is founded by the Pirate Party of Sweden

I get 50down and 10 up for $80USD a month plus a 300GB datacap

I thought this was going to be about monitors...

[Glenwing]

Fixed title

[madscientist56]

not really i have charter and my mbps range from 20-30 bundled with charter phone and tv for 29.99 per month

[PokémonTrainerFour]

Only if you do color...oh...

 

That seems like a fine price to an American where we get throttled like fuck.

[X1XNobleX1X]

 

I can get around 10 MBPS at most, which is the current limit in Australia from IPS.

I pay around $110 AUD which includes home phone. Little more expensive than most countries, though. 

[Flight1sim]

60 down and 10 up for $30 per month

They doubled san Jose's speed for free for everyone!

you have a datacap on a 80$ plan? Wtf

[TheRetiredSlave]

$75 a month for what's advertised as 105 Mbps (upload speeds not advertised)..

 

In real-world uses (not benchmarks like speedtest which get prioritized by ISPs), I get 90-95 Mbps down and ~12 Mbps up..

[ThyFeared]

you have a datacap on a 80$ plan? Wtf

And I go over it EVERY MONTH

[bigross123]

I'm right on the border, got 3 overages last year only $5/50gb. Would have to jump to a $80/mo for more bandwidth and just cant justify it right now

36 up 4.8 down 85$ a month...................

Okey 

[mc141]

I pay 49.94 for 15/5 no throttling and no data cap and actual speeds of 18/7 90% of the time.

And yes they dont throttle. They publicaly anounced they dont want to do that

[Blade of Grass]

We pay for 60/10 w/ a 320GB cap, get about 90/12. We pay $80 a month (CAD)

[99vw]

Just a FYI you wont always get what is advertised as there is overhead in the tcp/ip protocol itself.

[Goose Legs]

50/10mbits, no data cap (yet), plus tv (parents insist but if it were up to me, I would remove it) for $79.99/month before taxes.

[skywake]

$50AU/mo for the 'nets, ends up at about $100AU/mo when you include line rental, phone and calls. That gets me 250GB/mo @ ~8/1Mbps, which is a load of BS but it's depressingly above par for the ADSL2 copper roulette. If FTTH runs down my street or even FTTN I would be able to upgrade to 50/20Mbps or more for about the same price on that sort of quota. But I'm not holding my breath. For the options I have available it's a decent deal and I'm more than happy to pay extra for an ISP which has fantastic customer service and doesn't bend over to the gov' as easily as others do. For what other people can get? Even just down the road. It's pretty shit.

 

.... and before people go "ZOMG, LOW QUOTA!!". Quota isn't the issue at all. I average around 100GB/mo and haven't ever really touched the sides of the 250GB quota. It's hard to hammer the quota when there aren't that many legal channels to get content over the 'nets in the country. No Netflix. And the ones that are legal like iTunes don't count towards the quota. And with an upload that crap? You're not going to leave stuff seeding 24/7 if you want to still be able to do things with your connection. It's kinda hard to let the quota run away from you when there are sooo many limits on what you can do.

99,650 Kbps = 99.650Mbps... I do believe you are missing a 0, in which case, you have the worst asymmetric connection I've seen at about 100/2....
