What are you paying for internet?

[azasadny]

We have AT&T UVerse for Internet (11Mbps), TV and phone service. We have the basic TV pkg and the total is $140 a month for everything, including taxes, surcharges, fees, etc...

$85.21 for unlimited high speed internet and my phone service. That of course doesn't include my two Iphones on AT&T contract.

We pay through our phone bill (Land Line), it is 3.5 MB per second for $25.00 per month. It is enough to watch Netflix at 480 without any problem. However, when the boys are streaming another movie from Netflix and surfing the web at the same time, we sometimes get a rebuffering on one of the movies.

I've noticed the speed varies and is not consistent. The morning is usually better than the evening.

Almost the exact same here. Bellsouth DSL at home.

As to the Verizon hotspot/aircards. My direct reports all live on an aircard for work. Some on Sprint and it's solid 'where' you can get a signal. All the folks that have moved to Verizon have had issues. Every time Verizon pushes out a software/firmware update we run into problems. McAfee updates will affect with the Verizon cards as well. If you stay at Verizon's tech help they will eventually get you working but in our experience you have to badger them unmercifully for a few days straight otherwise they'll never get back to you. Since we're in mostly rural areas with limited 4G most of my guys have had the 4G service deactivated so they can stay on a slower but much more stable 3G connection. Most of the new VZ Access Mgr software has this feature hidden so you need VZ tech to do this for you. We've found when the card jumps from 4G to 3G the laptops drop signal and this plays havoc with our VPN.

One other thing to look at for aircards moreso than hotspots is adjusting the power management setting for your USB ports. Lot of power management schemes will turn off power or idle USB ports. Turn these features off and the USB will stay hot all the time.

$61 Per month, Speakeasy Internet DSL. The connection I have isn't even available anymore, been connected since 2001. I forget the speeds. I was upgraded at no cost at some point due to loyalty. It's fast and never goes down.

Stop whining, we pay way more than the US and have about 10% of the competition....

That being said I have 50 Meg Cable for $109 per month at all the employees places ;P

[sailchef]

Comcast internet/ cable TV $101.38 mo.

I was going to cancel the cable TV, but internet only is $76.00 mo. So i kept them both.
Its fast and never a problem.

Comcast in Houston, 69 home, 99 office. Service is similar to Sailcheif

[imcarthur]

$72 gets me 45 mbps down & 4 up. Tonight it is 87.39 mbps & I have seen 123 mbps. Cable.

CenturyLink DSL, 40mbps/5mbps, this is probably the highest it has tested, $45/mo



the S/O has a Verizon MiFi 4G MiFi card for work, tops out at 5mbps at best...rarely. I think it's $57/mo.

[Raceboy]

I have IPTV/100Mbit DSL line at home, 23.95€ per month, tv has ~120 channels.

3G costs ~9-12 € per month, no cap.

[Porsche-O-Phile]

Crazy... I'm using Straight Talk in my iPhone and tethering to it as needed. I pay nothing to cable or satellite tv - exactly what it's worth. My cost is $45 a month - phone. & data, no contract & no BS

WARNING - At&T Uverse High Speed Internet does not allow real email access - they block most ports outbound "for security reasons" but happily open them up if youy agree to a $50 extortion charge (and 2 + hours on the phone)

Like others, I'm rural with no DSL or cable in street. I put up with HughesCanSuckMe for 36 months, and had 32 troubleshooting service calls to tech support in India and Philipinnes.



Finally fired them (only took like 3 months of getting their run-around)

Tried AT&T wi-fi, didn't have the signal strength and returned it 3 days later.

VERIZON 4G Mi-Fi Jetpack 4620 kicks butt. I'm on a 18 gig a month plan for both Razr Smart Phone and home internet.


Speedtest.net from 2 minutes ago. It hauls assss.


Verizon kicks butt, do a google search on the 100,000's of thousand pissed off HughesNOT service issues.

What are you paying for that?

We are on the new Dish broadband for $50 a month

[SteamWolf]

my 4G phone internet costs me $80pm for 1gb of data (measured in 1mb packets up and down, and there are no unlimited options, and the most you can get is 3gb for $130pm), and the 4G coverage is very patchy. Usually it's 3G coverage at best.
My home internet is ADSL2 and costs me $70pm for 40gb of data (measured up and down).
