Readers Respond: How Much Does Your Internet Cost?

Responses: 36

By , About.com Guide

Some types of Internet cost more than others. For many people, the cost of basic Internet service like cable or DSL has been decreasing over the last several years. Newer options like mobile broadband or fiber, however, tend to have higher price tags. Some are willing to pay more for faster speed and convenience, others not so much. Whichever type of Internet access you use, how much do you pay for it? Has your cost gone up or down lately? Per Month or Year

Lesser of two evils, in Australia

Ezi-Web is an Aussie resort and caravan point that charges different rates for different places, and they are through the roof. ~$12 for 50 meg one day expiry. I think they even jiggle their count upwards. They makes my Optus cable ISP of 20 gig a month for about $69 look positively angelic, and there's nothing angelic about Optus..

Florida, USA

I pay $46 for 12 mb thru Comcast in Indian River Cty in FL. Way too much, only other choice is Uverse. Comcast probably has highest costs in the country.

Has been a good price every year

I pay about $10/month for Digi broadband in Malaysia. The average download speed is 1.2MBps. The great thing is the price always decrease (promotion) and the speed increase every year.

Costs too much in New York

$49.99/mo for about 9.something MB from TWC Road Runner Turbo, in Rochester, NY (USA).

Less than 1 Euro per Mb/s

I pay 30 EURO a month, get unlimited phone calls and 50 mbps download from Magnet. I happen to live in a brand new estate, so fibre optic cables were built in, its really good. I run 4 laptops streaming movies an Xbox 360 and a ps3... .

Comcast (sucks)

$57 /month for 6 MB. :/ The internet is too damn high priced.
—Guest Ed

It really sucks, for me

I get download and upload speed of somewhere around 45 KBPS and that's for a price of $10/month. And its costs almost $300 for a 24 Mbps connection and that too with a bandwidth cap of 200GB.

Not bad in the Bay Area

$29.95 USD /Month = 8.36 Mbps Down 3.80 Up. Via Toast.net DSL (they are carried by COVAD) in S.F.,CA.
—Guest lj@cv

Worth it surely? :-)

Spend £50 GPB per month, but I get 50Mb which is pretty solid (I actually almost get 50) and never cuts out (Virgin UK London). Being in London probably helps though...

Bell Aliant, eastern Canada

950kbps down, 330kbps up. GREAT! For this I am asked to pay $63.20/month (wireless modem extra), with prices rising every other month.
