Vy Posted September 15, 2014 Content Count: 1385 Joined: 05/22/11 Status: Offline Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) I wonder how many of you overpay for internet. The cost should be all expenses, any router fees... Also, do you guys actually have to pay for more data? As in, do you have a set amount of data in GB you can browse before you need to pay more? Also, please post what internet speeds you have! Preferably after doing http://www.speedtest.net/ I pay around 9-10$ for that, though I kind of overpay because you can get 100 mb/s up and dl for around 12.6$.

Labarr Posted September 15, 2014 Content Count: 3052 Joined: 08/30/09 Status: Offline Share Posted September 15, 2014 Most people in America/Canada get package deals from ISPs.. So TV Internet and Phone. So ITs hard to just say what Internet costs.. But I am using Verizon FIOS TV Internet Phone (75mbps/75mbps) and the monthly bill is right around $105 Link to comment
Vy Posted September 15, 2014 Content Count: 1385 Joined: 05/22/11 Status: Offline Share Posted September 15, 2014 Damn. Even with all 3 combined, I'd only be around 30-40$ for me. Around 50-60$ if I get more TV channels, but I end up watching stuff on the internet so I don't bother getting anything more than the normal package. Link to comment

Psyche Posted September 16, 2014 Content Count: 3343 Joined: 06/03/08 Status: Offline Share Posted September 16, 2014 this is the best internet I could get in my area, without any TV or phone plan attached. It is roughly 70$ a month, it's also trash because every day around 5PM everyone at OSU decides its time to go on the internet and my speeds drop to about half. also time warner is the only service available so I can't even switch Link to comment
Nishok Posted September 16, 2014 Content Count: 3178 Joined: 08/06/08 Status: Offline Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Currently my parents pay 40 Euros per month for only 30 download and 4 upload (Speedtest: 45 Download and 3.6 Upload). I'm going to run Telenet (big Belgian provider) very soon when I am going to live alone. It would cost me 73 Euros per month, includes internet, television and telephone. The speed is 160 download, which is good, but 10 upload, which I sadly find really slow for the stuff I do, going to try and get something custom done (downgrade download and upgrade upload, doubt they will do this but it is worth trying).
