How much do you pay monthly for your internet connection?

[madison2000]

and what kind is it?
The cost of my Yahoo DSL just went up to $52.70 and I think its ridiculous.

[Padraig18]

1. $24.95/month for DSL.

You're getting ripped off.

5. It went from 26 to 52 after one year. I am trying to determine how harsh

my language should be when I call. :evilfrown: :evilfrown: :evilfrown:

[DODI]

8. I call SBC whenever my term is about up and usually they give me

an even lower rate.

[Padraig18]

18. We use consolidated.net.

I'm not sure where all they're available, but I know it's several states.

16. Who is your provider? That's a good deal. nt

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

2. $40 dollars a month - Road Runner Time Warner Cable

[Spider Jerusalem]

3. $52.95.

ADSL, 3Mbps down/384Kbps up.

Too bad Speakeasy isn't in my area or I'd go with their 6Mbps ADSL.

[BOSSHOG]

4. Local dial up service in South Mississippi

$9.75 per month if paid in six month increments. Kinda slow but so am I.

[DODI]

6. 24.95 - DSL thru SBCYahoo

[madison2000]

7. Have youn had it less than a year? They doubled mine after a year

with no change in service.

[DODI]

10. Call them -- I just re-upped with DSL/All Distance/Total Phone and

DishTV (180 channel package) -- monthly bill is 165.00 --- less than the total of the phone and cable last year.

9. 52 bucks is too much for DSL, IMO.

For that, you can get cable....which is what I have...I think it's about 40 bucks (Right now I'm on the reduced "have it for six months" thing).

[Deja Q]

13. Cable is a joke:

comcast (my only cxable provider because of how the system is set up (many happy mini-monopolies in their own districts)), has 3M down/256k up for $42/mo... Plus modem fee plus hookup fee plus multicomputer fee plus more fees. And the $12/mo basic cable monthly fee or else the cable internet fee is much more. :eyes:

Fuck 'em. It's only 3M download speed when nobody else is using it (DSL is dedicated) and the upload speed (for gaming/ website work) is pathetic.

It's not always about download speed. Security and a dedicated line are worth the cost.

26. I agree with your points for DSL vs. Cable... and here's another one to

consider: how often is your telephone line out as opposed to how often does your cable TV go out? You can expect the same problem at the same time with your cable broadband.

[DODI]

11. Me again, it pays to shop around and talk with you current provider

This is one area were there really is competition. Call the providers and ask them what their best deal is, they will not automatically give you the best deal, but when you ask, they usually do. I highly recommend SBC.

[Deja Q]

12. $42.95/mo for DSL here.

Plus $15 for the basic phone line.

I'm also getting 1.5M down/768k up. 768k up can't be beaten by cable, not at that price...

[Indiana_Dem]

14. $34.95/month DSL through Verizon.

I don't know what speed. Probably the lowest.

My total DSL and phone bill is usually around $70-80/month altogether.

[Cadence]

15. $45 for cable.

[Born in the Maze]

17. $24.95 per month first 3 months

and $45 per month after that, I think. Ours is comcast cable.

Maybe your contract was the same as ours, where the price goes up automatically after a few months. And you can switch after 6 months to another, better deal to get a start-up discount.

[madison2000]

19. I just called up customer service and told them their increase was

"fucking ridiculous". The guy put me on hold and then came back and told me they would give me another year at $26.95 if I stayed. I said only if you rebate this month too. He said ok.

Yahoo DSL people, don't let them screw you over!

I love it when being a bitch saves me money :evilgrin:

And another thing... I have a cheap cell phone just for safety from Einstein. You have to buy 200 minutes a month to keep it live, and you have to do it within thirty days. Apparently I missed the date, cause they erased 1500 minutes. I went to the store and ranted about it. Minutes were re-added.

YaY! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

20. Road Runner Time Warner Cable

Free through Significant Other's work.

[madison2000]

23. you have the best deal of anyone!

[housewolf]

21. Cox Cable - about $50/month

It's about $150/month for combined phone/cable tv/cable modem. Seems like a lot.

[Nomad559]

22. Comcast

Comcast - 52.00 ... 3000/256

Soon to be - 4000/384

24. My immortal soul

I'm using the connection at work...

[mcscajun]

25. $39.95 per month for a 1-year DSL contract with Earthlink.

Been with them for years (since Mindspring, actually) -- no problems.

[mike_c]

27. cox cable $50/month....

And I use it for my broadband phone connection, too. I don't subscribe to cable TV, so my total ISP/phone bill is about $75/month, and no long distance charges. That's reasonable, I think, especially since the Cox internet speed is plenty fast for me. The cable internet cost would go down $10/month if I subscribed to cable television, but that's absolutely not worth the cost, IMO.

[asjr]

28. Local dial-up $16.16 monthly

[DrGonzoLives]

29. I only pay $19.99 for Yahoo DSL

Of course, my phone is through SBC, and they cut the price. Very nice that way.

[B Calm]

30. 9 dollars a month for dial up. I like to have high speed, but not avail.
