Just wondering the going rates.

I've been paying $70 a month for over a year now,... with Comcast.

NOW,... they jsut sent me a card in the mail today,... stating that the price will be increasing to $85 a month.

I have basic cable attached to this as well,.. but it would only shave $15 off, without it.


So,............what are you paying??
How much slower IS dsl when gaming????
Let me know.
Thanks.
:)

[quote name='killswitch64']Roughly $120/month for digital cable and the premium cable internet (highest speeds they offer) through Cox[/quote]

From my experience with cox, its a waste to buy their faster plans, the cheapest one is just as fast. Maybe they have changed things int eh last year, but I had the fastest plan, then downgraded, and noticed no decrease in speed.

I pay about 28 a month for BELL south, took advantage of some bundling discounts, and they just knocked 7 off the normal price... love them price cuts :)
 
[quote name='basketkase543']SBC Yahoo DSl - $26.95 a month.[/quote]

only for 6 months. ;)

I have Cruzio which is a local company though many people know of them around the country as they seem to have a good reputation and all. I recently got it for 29.99 for a year.

*edit*
Oh yes, and since they're local and not lots of crowding on the networks, I always get no less than 1Mbps. Usually I get around 1.2 to 1.3Mbps (Max for the one I have is 1.5).
 
I use to have SBC's 1.5/3?? plan for $26.95, but recently upgraded to their 3.0/512 package for $36.95. They also have a 6.0/768? package for about $50 (You have to ASK for it). All dynamic.

And to the OP... from my experience DSL is not as jumpy as cable is. DSL (at least SBC Yahoo) stays at a constant speed, no matter how many users are accessing the service. With cable your d/l speed might be a little quicker, and you actually might get your advertised 3.0mpbs download. With my 3.0 package I get 2.6 mpbs down CONSTANTLY. And to me thats better than going from 3.0 to 1.5 to 2.7 to 2.2 to 1.3 to 1.8 back to a little quicker 3.0. Plus I get a lot better upload speed than what Comcast offers.

P.S. - Whoever said they are now paying $50 for SBC Yahoo DSL you must have missed your renewal. Because when you renew they give you the same price year round.
 
I get super fast Internet through my school (ISU). I have to pay like $30 a semester, so $60 a year I guess.

woah! lucky dog you. Imagine what online gaming would be like... :D
 
I'm paying 33 bucks right now for basic cable and Internet. Once the promo ends, it goes up to around 53 bucks. It's way faster than the SBC dsl I can get and it cost about the same too. It's Comcast by the way.
 
I can't believe some ppl are paying $80-90 out there. C'mon! You're on a site that praises being a cheapass! Unless you're in the boonies there shouldn't be a reason for anyone to get hi-speed internet access beyond $50-60.
 
We get free 56k from a local school, but it only conects at 28k for some reason.
I want to get DSL, but the lowest price I can get it for around here is $40 a month. :cry:

How old is your modem? If it's really old, it's quite possible you might actually have a 28.8 modem.
 
[quote name='TheRaven']I get mine for free..work for the ISP. I think it would normally set me back about 40 a month though.[/quote]
How about hooking me up with some of that free DSL. :wink:

There are three computers in my house, including the one I built this summer from parts mostly from Newegg. If my dad connects to the Internet through his work account (which he pays for) we connect at 42kbs+, so its not our modems, its our ISP. They told us that we were on their fast connection line, but thats a lie because we used to connect at 50+kbps though them.
 
Well, I called Comcast again last night....tried to wheel some kind of deal...no go. They have been pretty lousy and not giving me deals. Oh well....They DO have DVR now, I'm supposed to get that...only $10/month and I already pay $5 for HDTV box, so it would only be $5 more.

Of course, she said she had to have a "supervisor" call me to confirm that there are enough DVR boxes to go around....guess what, no supervisor called. I have someone coming out today to look at my HD box since it's been defective, hopefully he has a spare DVR box with him
