Simple poll, really. I'm just curious about the rate of broadband adoption. And if you don't mind saying it, how much does your Internet service cost?

ADSL, 50 Euros a month.

Dail-up, about $15 for unlimited a month. Though if you add in the second phoneline, it comes to about $30 odd.

We spend $20/month on dialup service, and another $15-20 for the phone line.

We have no broadband options in the area, unless we blow money on satellite service.
My ISP's wireless service isn't out here yet, and it's just as expensive as one-way satellite (and has some disgustingly strict transfer limits).

Dialup, downloads generally come in at about 5.1 KB/sec

Cable, $50 U.S./month.

Hahaha, everybody pointlook and point at the Country Bumpkin (jk)

Broadband through the school's computer center.

Dial up. Argh.

Have a very nice day.

Dial up, 56k, through iPrimus. $89.95 for 3 months of TRULY unlimited hours and unlimited downloads.

Though Optus is coming to Tassie soon so I might get DSL then...

Cable! $40 USD per month.

Dial-up at home, usually broadband at UI.

I'm on dial-up right now until the 18th, which is really pissing me off because I think the software might be slowly killing Sarah.

Way back when I moved into the dorm, and simply deleated the old Earthlink folder: which I shouldn't have done.

Getting back to CR, Sarah had to have Earthlink re-istalled. The software wouldn't recognize my version of Windows, and wouldn't install. We downloaded the lastest version of EL, and installed it, which is when the problems started happening right away.

Sarah has massive problems shutting down, forcing a hard shut down, which means she goes through Scan Disk when she starts up. The contents for C drive and the Control Panel are invisible when viewed, and the layout for My Pictures is totally fucked up. My Java functions no longer work, Winamp occasionally skips when it didn't before, and when I start up after an improper shut down, the Restore Active Desktop function doesn't really work, and I have to play around in Properties to get my background back up.

In short, I'm not very happy right now...

Broadband kicks ass! And at 36.90 euros/Gb a month...

Cable at home, $45/month.
University's connection at school, $60/semester.

ADSL, $50 a month (Erm, excuse me, $49.99 a month)

Cable, about 40-50$ a month. Downloads from normal html websites (not p2p like Kazaa) range from a low of 20kb/sec to high 168kb/sec. Highest I ever got was around 320kb/sec.

Hmm.. doesn't most people still use dial-up?

ADSL. Around $50 a month.

I have a dial-up, and it's made worse because I only have one phone line, and my parents are too cheap to get another one. They weren't concerned about cost when they sent me to Catholic school for 7 years.

And what does broadband cost? $100 a month? My sister's job at Subway could make enough money for that!

Cursed be my dial-up.

ADSL. Around $40 a month I think.

Dial Up, but the service is free through University, so its only the $30 a month for phone service.

You guys are getting ripped off. I pay $45 CDN (~$30 US) per month for ADSL broadband.

56k Dial-Up at home using FreeServe which has just turned shit on me.

10GBit/s connection at Uni for 60 quid a year.

What service Mike?
