How much do you pay for your IS each month?
And is there extras you are charge if you don't have unlimited access plus is your ISP located in your area?

It goes up to $80 because we have extra channels too.

I use NTL but i'm not sure how much it costs because it's linked in with our cable and phone bill. I think it's about 30 quid for my 600k broadband.

$120 a month for premium digital cable and cable modem service from Brighthouse Networks (formally Time Warner Cable, I'm not sure about the details behind the name change). I am not sure how much of it actually goes towards the cable modem, but I think it's around 60 bucks.

You have my sympathies.....Shaw Lite spead is like only four times as fast as dialup, why not just fork over the extra ten bucks and get real cable internet?

$20 NZD/month for unlimited dialup.

Broadband in NZ is a joke, and they charge for international traffic. :roll:

Is there a standard down/upstream for cable connections or something, considering no one is quoting figures?

Uk varies between 128k-2048k for the home user (down)

It's 24.99, but I think they're tagging an extra couple of quid on at some point.

I have 150k cable modem. It's shite but it's also cheap.
