How do you access the internet and how much does it cost you?

[Philippine Beach Resorts]

Me, I only have unlimited dial-up internet access at $15/month (bundled with the landline phone). I know mine is slow but I really dont need broadband because I seldom do downloads and streaming so dial-up works for me.

What about you people?

I have dialup here for 19.95 a month plus 6% GST. I get 31.2 Kbps max.

lol dialup (now I know why I still create fast loading websites)

mine is a
ADSL 6/1 mbit for 36 euro a month

I have 2* 512/256 lines one for the house and one for the garage
they cost £19 each but have a connotation of 1|10 and unlimited downloads, here in the UK you can get very cheap broadband but it nearly always limits the amount you can download to 1 or 2gb a month, I get through that in a day

Interesting the download limit, there are here in the netherlands a few cheap offers here doing the same...but most provider offering unlimited downloads or fair use

Damn you Olaf! I used to have a fast connection like that, but since moving to Germany I'll have to cope with 1Mbit down and 128kbps up I pay about 20 Euro a month

hehe, maybe the reason why I moved from Germany to the Netherlands, hehe

LOL! They have 4mbit lines available here in town, but since I live too far away from the switching station I'll have to do with 1Mbit...

now im just wondering why the need for so much speed? imagine 4 mbps as compared to my 56 kbps... he he he...

hehe, you know it if you surf the net with a fast connection and you go back to the dialup

since 30 euro for my connection is paid by my Boss, my connection is cheap too

I have had to live with dial-up for about half a year, I was close to hanging myself with the telephone cable but figured it would be a very slow and painful death... Having to work on a dial-up internet connection after being used to broadband is seriously the most frustrating thing I have experienced in my life!

i think my 56k connection is ok by my standards. i can bear with it. but someday, when my Google income increase, i will also upgrade to 700 kbps broadband.

you have a boss olaf? i thought you are a businessman.

Interesting that high speed connections seem to be cheaper in Europe.

I'm on a dial-up account made worse by crummy phone service, so I never get anywhere near the actual connection speed we are actually paying for. We pay $19.99 a month. High speed around here runs $40+ and the lower priced ones are often entry pricing (pricing that goes way up after 6 months at the cheap tempting price) or bundled where you have to already have some other more expensive service  as well.

back here in the Philippines, a 700 kbps broadband connection costs US$21/mo, a 1 mbps at US$31/mo, while a 2 mbps is at US$41/mo. and there is also the 56kbps dialup at US$15/mo.

yep I'm (I have a double life)

I hope thats not the future in Europe... (but you must be happy, AT&T customers have free local phone calls right?)

Strange. Bandwidth in USA is much cheaper than Europe, but still our internet connections are cheaper

I have a 2mb ADSL line which costs about 20-30 euro. Thanks to the European commision, our country is keep on upgrading the networks and make prices lower (otherwise I would still have a 11 kbps dial up connection )
