I too also have Cox@home. It’s $30 for the service and $15 for the cable modem rental.
$45,000 a year.
Then again, I’m getting a college education, a room, and food out of the deal too, but that’s secondary (and tertiary and quartiary).
AT&T Broadband - $46.99 a month. We have satellite TV (Dish Network), but we kept basic cable because satellite goes out whenever it rains. Keeping basic cable knocks some money off our internet charge, like about $5 a month. :rolleyes:
1024 Kbit SDSL, 8 registered IP addresses - free. Then again, I fix networks for the ISP in question

DSLExtreme – $50/month, but I got a $5/month discount for signing up for a full year all at once. A bit expensive IMO, but having a static IP and no cable modem bandwidth contention was worth it.
How’d you pull that one off?
I don’t know…
That’s much better than $19.95/month I was going to have to pay for 56k dial-up through Starpower (formerly Erols).
That was actually the precipitating event that pushed me to broadband. ($10 more is but a small price to pay for a telephone line.)
Still, how did you pull that off?
British Telecom 512K Broadband £40 ($60) per month.
That’s if it was available in my area. Which it isn’t.
I don’t pay anything, it’s part of work package.
Nostradamus, you could get a satellite modem, they work anywhere in the world (right). They are very competitive too. hughes.com does them: DirecPC
Cable, Shaw@home. $40.00, provided that you already have a tv cable account with them.
Well, it looks like somebody did beat me, but he cheated. And yes most people here have me beat speedwise. That’s not actually too important for me. I never download things too big, and I have patience from my dialup days
I’m not really sure how I got that price, but when I signed up it was $50/month, and after a while they automatically cut it down to $17.95, then $7.95. Guess customer loyalty counts for something. I live in LA, and was one of the fisrt in this area to get DSL. I’ve been with them for over a year, so our contract is up, and we’re on month to month now. I did have to pay $200 in startup fees though, but I think I’ve recouped that. Besides, broadband is quite important to me, so it would be worth it even for $50/month.
Their service and reliability have improved too. And I get 4 IPs for no extra charge. They’re dynamic, though, but that’s OK.
While the extra bandwidth of cable would be nice, for $7.95 I’m not complaining. Besides, I’d only end up using the extra bandwidth to download warez, MP3s and movies. Ok, not really, but what else do you need it for? Oh yeah, porn!
769.9kbps down, 135.6kbps up - all for 45$/mo. through Qwest DSL - includes the cost of my other two phone lines.
Actually not loyalty. Most likely a billing mistake. Cool though. You actually should have only 1 dynamic IP too! It sounds like you are only paying the Verizon online internet fees, not the network side. Of course you run the risk of getting shut of when they find it but until then congrats!
In the event that they do shut it down and you have to call in to restart, do me a favor? If you get me DO NOT yell at me about how you can’t live withought your DSL for another day. k?
Using the test posted above, I got 2.17 mbps down, and 173kbps up.
Roadrunner, $40/month.
Sublight, 30-60 mbps for $50? Wow.
I also have RoadRunner, $40 a month. But mine tests at 3.72 mbps down and 207 kbps up. Locally, I can’t beat it.
According to this, my stats are 2.98mbps down, 100.9kbps up. I only did this test once though.
2.1m up / 259k down
$29.95 + $5 modem rental
Charter @Home - Athens, Ga
oops! up/down, down/up… sheesh
That test gave me:
1.47 Mbps down
164.3 Kbps up.
Odd, the up is faster than I’m supposed to get and the up is much slower. I’ve been able to consistently upload at over 250 Kbps, though, so I’m not worried. I think this does a nice burst rate, which is not sustained. I only get about 1.05Mbps sustained on average. Not that I’m complaining.
