How fast is your internet and what do you pay?

30/10, no cap, for about $50.

It's horseshit, but my building only has one provider (Rogers, Canada), so I'm stuck with them, or in this case their piggybacker Teksavvy.

The real joke is that there is so much wireless interference in my building, I can only get about 20 down through my router anyways. :(
 
100Mbps down/10Mbps up with a 1TB a month cap. $90 a month.


First time I even got to 75% was this month after I got a 2TB external HDD for my PS4 and went nuts downloading games.

109$ for 200 mbps download from Spectrum/Time Warner. I cant remember the upload. No caps either.
It was the same price for 100 mbps but I called to cancel and switch to a competitor and they bumped the speed to keep me. I never have outages and their customer service is alright.
 
Either $40 or $50 per month, and speedtests put me around 40down/40up.

Some of these speeds just seem excessive to me. I feel like 100mb/s would be as fast as I could ever want.
 
50d/10u $120 per month Unlimited Business Class two static IP's, Siloam Springs, Arkansas via Cox (stupid caps forced me to go business class). We don't have a landline, or cable. We use terrestrial for local TV, and internet for everything else (Netflix, Prime, NHL).

I only pay $55 of the price:
-Wife works from home for a corporate company that is not local, they pay $45
-The company I'm partnered in rents $20 worth of the internet bandwidth from me for web and file storage.

I do miss my capped 300/100 (but 1 TB with work usage gets a little hairy).

Cox has had a billboard up in town, "Live the Gig life" for more than the 2 years I have lived in the region. I would happily pay for 1gig if it were unlimited and did not require TV and phone.

How much do I pay? Too damn much.
I have Time Warner, or now Spectrum since the merger.mmy plan is basic HD channels (no DVR or anything) and "Standard" internet. The plan is apparently $99, which after fees and taxes and bullshit surcharges comes to $153/month. I can't figure out on the Spectrum site what speeds my plan is supposed to have, even on my bill. "Standard" internet isn't defined anywhere that I can see, but for $10 more a month I can upgrade to 20mbps down. So I figured I must have 15mbps down. I just did a speed test and got 28ms ping, about 21 down, and 2.5 or so up.



I'm supremely jealous of most everyone in this thread.
Recently on top of that, I was paying $160/mo for just Internet, 20gigs/mo capped, that was like 4mbps down at best. That was while in Greenland, paying for Greenland TelePost. It started off when I got there at 10gigs/mo and about $220, with even slower speeds. Over the span of the the 3.5 years I was there, they bumped it up to 20gigs a month and reduced it in price slightly, and then my company started giving us a $150 internet stipend every month if we submitted our bill to them, which made it more manageable. I was still paying for my terrible internet here in SC at the time, so my family and I could talk and stuff, but the internet here in SC was amazing compared to the stuff in Greenland.
 
100down/6up.
yes, single digit...
$70 a month...

Cable America

Just Internet... No cable, phones, or anything like that...

Only 100Mbps option in this part of Missouri...

Next best option is only 20Mbps


This really sucks since the free internet that came with my apartment in Korea was faster up and down...
 
1000 down/1000 up (gigabit fiber), $80/month, no data caps. Houston, Texas.

I'd say on average I get 850/700 rather than my full speed.

Sweden, Telia. 250/100 currently for 499 SEK (about $63) a month with no traffic caps. Definitely a bit on the expensive side compared to other ISPs, but they've worked mostly well for me and their technical support has been great.

$60, no caps. Spectrum is ISP. Not bad. Wish Google would get off their ass with the GoogleFiber roll out in the area.

Dude you're getting royally fucked, where in Canada? I'm in Montréal, I pay $26 a month for 100/100 unlimited bandwidth with no throttling.

100/100 in Montreal for 26$?? You've got to be kidding me. I've never seen this kind of connection for this cheap, ever. It must be bundled with something like your appartment/condo. All TPIA I've seen offer 100mbit+ for 60$+/month with either high caps or no caps. And symmetric? Yeah, no Big 3 or TPIA offers that.

I'm with Videotron (Canada), 120/20. 65$. Unlimited. Part of a (bad) deal.

And where do you live?

I'm in Canada where we get royally fucked on telecom stuff. I've been able to snag a good promo from Bell though: 300mpbs down, 100mpbs up, unlimited for $65 a month (goes up to $85 after a year).

It's actually a pretty great deal, one that i was surprised to get from these terrible companies. What do you have?

$80 per month. I'm planning to switch to another provider for potentially 100/40 for $60 per month.

gave away the keys to the kingdom.
$99pm for unlimited 100Mbps/40Mbps. One of the most notable perks my ISP offers is access to Usenet via Astraweb at no extra cost, which is definitely a nice bonus. It essentially saves me ~$19pm, though I do have a backup block that very occasionally needs to be topped up.

So wait, you guys get legal weed and ridiculous and cheap internet? Is Colorado bucking for the title of 'American Shangri-La'?

Longmont is special in that it got some sort of exemption early on and was able to build out its own fiber internet service many years ago and then expanded it to residents. City planning-wise they made a lot of good moves, they also provide the local power and water which is generally cheaper than the surrounding areas because it's not for-profit, and have had a free bus program for the last 2 years.

No other city in Colorado has this, they all pay Comcast/Century Link hostage pricing though a lot of them have noticed how successful NextLight has been.

That would be a reasonable price for a top tier connection even in a world where the telecom giants weren't bleeding us dry.

I'm paying $33.95 CAD before taxes for 25Mbps down/10Mbps up and unlimited data as part of a bundle promotion that ended over a year ago with Bell Fibe, yet was extended indefinitely after I called to complain about what looked like some shady business regarding TV pricing. I can often get between 35-40Mbps, so with the current state of the internet I don't feel like I'm missing out on much, yet.

Just took a quick peak at their web site to see what my current internet package is priced at outside of bundles/promos and was shocked to see it at $75/month, a good $20 or so more than when I last checked. Price gouging doesn't get much more blatant than that.
