    No idea.

    My internet comes in a bundled pack with my cable and phone services, and PVR lease. It is supposed to be 256/256 Kbps, but I marked it last time at 2.2 Mbps download. All told it comes to about $ 100/mo.

    They don't even have prices for cable modem service alone as you must have at least one of their other services to get it.


    And the biggest benefit from the whole thing is -- I don't have to use Time Warner.

    Tell him yes on one and no on two.

    Which was yes? The destroy Russia, or the, uh, number two?

        $29.95/mo. for cable connection through Midcontinent Communications.

        Depending on which testing service I use I get anywhere from 200 to 576 kbps.

          Home ~$40 U.S. for comcast basic internet. 1.5mb down 128 up.
          Former Work ~$90 for Comcast's second service. 3mb down 384 up.

          Current Work ~$160 for Covad SDSL 384kbps - Comcast could not get the line put in without some serious cash outlay at the beginning due to having to bore under the pavement.

              Bell Canada ADSL, one of about 100 clients left.
              $70.00 CAD, for 2M down and 500K up. But not really.

                      Paying about 30-35€, not quite sure though, since its a student price for both DSL and phone

                        @ High_Jumbllama

                        They have not gotten around to increasing ur UL to 256Kbps yet? That's odd.

                          I don't know exactly. I have not checked in a while. It is more than fast enough for myself though.

                            512/256 £19 per month less a penny. Down once for an hour due to a power failure. Otherwise worked fine for the last six weeks.

                            Only setup probs that my account details weren't emailed to me when I signed up just the backup dialup. The techie I spoke to told me to use the wrong username and password. So I couldn't connect until I spoke to a friend next day at work who gave the web link to get my account details.

                                $199/month for 768kbps SDSL through Megapath/Covad. Yeah it's expensive but at least the service is decent. My other broadband options aren't so great

                                Apparently that doesn't apply to NYC. Broadband options here are shit unless you're lucky enough to be living in one of Cablevision's service areas. Their cable service is $49/month if you don't have their television service, and speeds are as high as 8mbps/1mbps. In my neighborhood, I have TWC for cable and Covad for DSL. Verizon (the local phone company) can't even provide DSL service to my house because my voice lines are running through fiber
