What's the lowest price for DSL/cable ISP?

[Susan]

I am really, really annoyed at CompuServe right now (getting repeatedly disconnected, slow connection when I reconnect. . .>_<)

We pay around $29.95 a month I think (I don't deal with the bills for my family, my sister does)

I dunno about the companies o the US - but in england there's some Broadband providers that charge £17.99 a month (14.99 dollars, If my mind remembers)

So, it hsould be cheeper over there...

$29.95 a month is a scandalous ripoff. I pay $8.50/month for an unlimited dialup account. You should go with a local provider, not a huge corporation. You're the one paying for their television ads, corporate salaries, etc.

Even if you don't switch to DSL you should get a new ISP.

it may sound strange but broadband connections are much expensive here than in England. for example dsl can be 29.99 a month for six months then after that its like 40. Same thing with cable which is around 35-45 dollars a month. i actually noticed that in england its quite cheap to have a broadband connection than here in the US.

I got cable broadband, it runs pretty fast at about 1,500 to 2,000 kbps, for $21.95 till July, then the price goes up to I think $39.99.

I can get superfast 3500 kbps cable for $59.99, but I don't need anything like that.

I would say an average price would be about $35 to $45 per month.

I think I pay a total of $50 or so, in my market.

My ISP is $15/month for limited (but not very) dialup, and $20/month for unlimited; CompuServe is ripping you off. We have sorta high prices, but we have extra features like spam filtering. What's their excuse?

Our cable internet connection (with Rogers cable) costs us about $40 Canadian per month (that would be about $30 U.S.). Since I split the cost with my roommate, it only costs me personally $20.

 

[Susan]

I don't know what their excuse is, but we got one year free (when we got my sister's PC) and we have all of our e-mails there. If we switch services, we lose our entire filing cabinets, address books, etc. . .and she and my mother lose their favorites lists (they don't like Internet Explorer and only like that next-to-worthless AOL browser CS provides-so all their favorites lists are in there while 99 percent of my favorite site list is in IE because I prefer it)

I'm in Australia and my internet cost $30 for unlimited

I was paying $29.99 for AOL/Compuserve, but I just switched to cable internet which will cost me about $10-$15 for the first 3 months then $44.99 a month. This will work out much better for me since I do my work for my job on the internet. It's really $39.99 a month but to rent the box thing is like $5.00 a month. Once it's up and running I may purchase my own box thing and just pay the &39.99. But I did have to make a copy of all of my favorates and stuff from my filing cabinets and everything before I switch, and I'll have to change the email address in the forums I visit, and give all of my friends my new email address. LOL! It's almost like moving to a new house! LOL!! But I know I will love Cable internet, and I love IE browser, thank God I had half of my favorates in there also.

I wonder why high speed is cheaper in Europe than here in America?

Compuserve always did give me problems just like the ones you're describing. I had that rebate contract thing too, but now my contract is up and I am free to switch to Cable internet now. AOL worked better than Compuserve, but Cable is even better than AOL.

I have DSL with SWBell. I pay $39.95/mo, which is about what cable is here. I pay for 384 down, 128 up and get about 1000 down and 107 up. I'm as happy as a hound dog with no fleas.
