Honestly - How much do you pay for broadband?

I ask this due to people always claiming XBL is too expensive, say $5 a month. So I just thought it would be interesting to see what the price difference is in peoples broadband.

$33 but it's pretty slow to be honest

$45/month for 6mbps DL and 1mbps UL.

I made up for it by switching to VOIP. My phone bill went from $150/month to $30/month, so it pays for itself.

nobody's claiming it is to expensive.

We just don't want to pay M$ to use our internet connections.

Around 35$ a month or so, I have the Optimum Triple Play crap on the east coast. It's like 100 bucks for Internet + Phone + TV.angry_fork

I'm supposed to be on 5mb but here in the UK most of our internet and phoneline structure is copper wire based not fibre optic, and its snowing here. Plus my sister is also using the internet.

Very true and I was going to state that prior to seeing that you had.

However, you can get free anti-virus software or to get better protected, you can spend $40 on it. Same with XBL if you believe that you get a better service and additional features are worth the annual fee.

Thanks for all those that answered, the results were quite interesting.

19.50 € a month , 20 Mbit down 1 Mbit up .

~$40/month. 12 Megabits downstream. (Really wish FiOS was available in my area.)

On top of that, I pay $12/month for premium Usenet access (for my x264 fix), and I'll sometimes subscribe to Xbox Live for very short periods of time when something catches my interest. This very rarely happens, as there's very little worthwhile content provided by the service. Even at $6/month, XBL is simply not worth it.

$50 CND for 10mb connection speedlundy86_4

Like 15 quid a month for Broadband and Landline.

Why is mine so much cheaper than eveyone else's, anyway?
