world wide internet prices

[harukablue]

As we represent a good geographical group, lets compare what we pay for our internet around the globe, although i am in the UK it might be best if like oil barrels we work in US$ lol.

 

I am with America Online here in the UK and for $27 a month i basically get unlimited internet, technical support and unlimited downloads. Thats it, no telephone or TV.

Unlimited Internet, download, technical support and land telephone for ~34$. Until recently I was paying 25$ for the same service, but I had to renew my subscription and they had the price updated.

Getting "unlimited" internet/downloads and technical support (which i havent used at all, works great ^_^) from the Clear Network (akin to a city-sized wifi network) for 45$ a month, but after splitting the bill among between my roommates, it comes to 9$/mo. Works fine even with 5 people using it all at once. We have no land line telephone (that's so last millennium :P )  and just over-the-air TV (also antiquated; we just DL/stream from internet)

$40/month high-speed limited in this Oligopoly industry in Canada.

In the U.S., $43/mo for "250 GB/mo" of downloads "up to 15 Mbps" (I get 6 Mbps late at night, and about 3 at peak times), a "comprehensive security suite" (which is only for PCs, so as a Mac user it doesn't help me), and some email and online storage I don't use.  The price includes a bundle discount with a cable TV package, and would be about $10 higher without that. I'd also pay a few bucks more if I didn't supply my own cable modem.

 

There's also tech support, which I've never used except to check on outages, where I get a recording telling me "there is a problem in your area"  most times (I actually did use their tech support for a problem with the TV service, and got some real help from a human).

 

They do some blocking of torrents and other high-bandwidth services, although I don't use anything "high bandwidth" other than Youtube and have never encountered a problem.

 

They also have an "economy" service for $25/mo with a 1 Mbps top download speed and the same total GB cap.

I pay about 17 USD per month to my internet provider. Download speed is 30 Mbps, upload is 20 Mbps. I can download and upload unlimited data. This price does not include any TV or telephone services.

BT Broadband in the UK.... about $34 a month for unlimited 8mb broadband... VOIP telephone number, security etc.....

 

TV is freeview which gives me approx 100 TV and radio channels for free. Phone also with BT for about $10 a month?!? unlimited landline calls evenings and weekends.

We have a 20MBit unlimited connection here including digital TV and telephone. We make good use of it, although it's pretty expensive at around €50 a month (all inclusive), they have a quite good service.
