FiremanJoe Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Australia continues to get the short end of the stick. In Paris, $50 buys a 24 Mb/s connection with unlimited downloads and unlimited VoIP. Japanese customers pay $45 a month for more than 50 Mb/s with unlimited downloads. Telstra Bigpond's $49.95 ADSL plan is a 1.5 Mb/s connection with a mere 400 MB of downloads. (Prices in AUD)Hardly seems fair to me. How much do you guys pay and what do you get for your money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Comcast, $33/mo for 6 Mb/s, bundled with $33 digital cable TV. Rates will go up to $50-55 after 12 months. America is not much better :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassivePretentiousness Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 look at how many people there are per square mile in each area and look at fixed costs then ask whether or not it's fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moseph Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Fastest I can even get is 768 Kbps. Where I used to live, there was only dial-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion2004 Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 At my house, we pay around $46 USD a month for 6mbps from AT&T. It is yumz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 $40 for a measly 3 megs. Of course, our infrastructure is beyond fucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzumebachi Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 "wah wah 1.5mbps" this, "boohoo 768kbps" that. Shut your bleeding traps. When you're stuck living in the middle of the god damn sticks and the best you've got is 50.6kbps, and that's on a good day, THEN you can bitch about your internets. But until then, die in a righteous fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafydd Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Move. You're like a desert nomad complaining about a lack of water. I get 24Mbps for roughly $44 (but it's really just 8 because of the distance to the "phone station"). a mere 400 MB of downloadsThat company wouldn't get a single subscriber in Sweden. What use is broadband if you use up your monthly quota within the hour? Afaik there's no limit on any of the Swedish isp's. I think my brother downloaded 8 gigs of stuff just yesterday.

FiremanJoe Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 Yeah, both my grandparents and a friend of mine have a 400Mb dl limit. Sucks to be them. I have 1.5mbit and 15Gb dl limit. It's the best available in my area- dad picked it cos it bundles internet, landline and mobile phone bills into one... so I'm not sure about the pricing but he allegedly gets a 'discount'.

Schwaltzvald Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Verizon -At work so I'll edit this message when I get home with the speed info... I do remember though I'm just paying around $29.99 with unlimited download (seriously torrenting about 15gbs as of now nonstop ) I'm happy though as I'm able to torrent while playing EVE or FEAR Combat with no slowdowns. I also like to give a big FUCK YOU to Comcast for providing shitty services. To avoid any possible flame war on IPs emerging from here, I just didn't like Comcast after a few months with them; lets leave it at that.

herograw Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I used to have comcast's ridiculously expensive premium cable which was like 8Mb down, 512k up or something. It served me well enough, since I didn't have to pay for it. Currently: Stealing wireless from someone within the apartment complex. Pretty fast. More importantly I live directly across the street from my university and their internet is ridiculous. yay for stealing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
