I notice a lot of posters using cable. Now, I've considered it, I'm using
satelite, Dish, and wonder how much, in a general amount, the cost you pay
in your area. Here, It'd be close to $100 a month, maybe a bit more if I get
HBO. The cable service we are forced to use here is Cable One. For DSL it is
cheaper but the connection speed would be one fourth that of cable, then
there is the extra cost of the ISP charging in increments as to the speed of
the service. But you all knew that!

Thanks in advance.

AU$50 --> ~US$37.50/month for slow ADSL

Euro 23.95 =~ 30.38 USD per month for 20MBit downstream, 1MBit upstream
ADSL.

This is for VOIP,TV,LAN,WAN 2 to 20 Mb down, 1Mb up.
As I'm a mile far from the DSL node I usually have
an average of 5 to 7 Mb. No charge for content (that'd be a "no go" for
me and many).
There are of course, as you said, different additional services or
extensions in TV channels, different ludicrous and inunderstandable
grids of fares for phone and PPView nonsense which I'll let to the
people half my age and younger )

The cable offers here are slower (and their
bandwidth is even much more vulnerable to QoS and repartition)

And people wonder why most Aussies *despise* Telstra.

Daammn!

And I thought I had it good with 6M d/s and 365K u/s. This for
allegedly $45mo. But, the truth is, Comcast pulls a little extortion
racket that says to get internet cable for $45, you must already
subscribe to at least min cable tv service for $15 for a total of $60.
If you don't want cable tv, Comcast will charge $60 for internet cable
alone. Such a deal.

I've got a 2048/256 ADSL line and it cost me $54 a month.

But I can have 10 Mbit/s fiber, it'll cost me $600 to have it
established and then $85 a month.

This area is designed to become quite warm during normal operation.

FWIW - Cable is fine. As long as all the neighbors don't have it. Think of
this analogy - DSL is like a direct pipe from you to the internet. Cable
is more like a pipe from the internet to your neighborhood - where
everyone shares the same pipe. So until everyone starts using it, you're
fine.

I'm currently using a wireless cable solution. The local provider installs
an antenna, and runs a coax down to a cable modem. Minimal setup, no
annual contract, $35/month. Main limitation is line of sight to the
transmitter. My service is 1.5mb - they have a 256kb line for $20/month. I
have done some downloads where I've seen about 3mb actual throughput.

Yeah I am aware of the more users of the Internet connections on Cable the
less bandwidth. And I would rather go the wireless solution but all the
major services are not yet available here, damnit. I just can't see the
price for cable service, it is much too high for my retirement income. Is
DSL 64kbs worth the $30?
