For now, I get my new house on Nov 17. I use Time Warner and I think Adelphia (Time Warner) in Nov. So far no cable co. claims to suport my new house. But there is a cable box on the pole in front, so someone will give me high speed:5zombie:.
Holy Crap... 10mb... I'm moving to the UK.
Anyone have fiber to the home available to them yet?? And how much per month is it??
I do, well sort of! I have cable broadband so it's fibre along my street and then coax to my house! at about £35 a month.
My brother in HK gets true fibre to his apartment and gets 100MB! not sure how much it costs though as he says its part of the service charge for the apartment!
My broadband goes via the phone jack. I have a direct outtage only for broadband but I can´t use it because it it linked to another operator. If I want to use it I must change ISP and that can takes up to up to 2 weeks waiting and you can think what it will mean for my OCing. If I chould change I chould download 2000 Wu:s from TKC or D20L and crunch them.
For 8 Mbit I pay $166,48 (£88,85) every quarter. In this sum is included $33,29 what we call moms a type of tax to the government. During a year I pay a sum of $665,94 (£355,39) in total all as all.
It isn´t the cheapest but the most secure and with the best service. My ISP Telia owns the whole sircuit net as goes from south to the north of Sweden. Other operators must hire access through Telia.
Telia is a large company and has small telechops in every large city ehere I can go and buy their modems and routers and of sorce trough the net. Other operators dont have chops only via Internet.
Sometimes it is better talk between 2 eyes rather than use Internet:)
I pay £35 ($65) a month for 10mbit with Blueyonder (now NTL, which apparently also become Virgin. I dunno who owns what now)
Well in South Africa we are really behind in internet tech...
At Home I have a 64k dialup
At My Apppartment I have a 384k ADSL with a 5gb cap
At University, the entire university runs off a 10mb line!!!
These crappy connections are due to us having a monopoly on our telecom. infrastructure and the high prices that we have to pay for bandwidth and phone calls. :(
You all beat me I live so far out in the sticks that we don't have DSL or Cable. I have wireless internet and my acess point is an antena up on a grain elevator about a mile from my house. lol It's either that or dial up and out here that finishes second to two tin cans and a string. I get ok speed, when I downloaded Vista (~400Mb) it took about 2.5 hours. But, the Cardinals won tonight so maybe next weekend I'll go to a game.
I just heard that my ISP is rolling out 20mbit/768kbps at the end of the year for all the 10mbit/384kbps customers free of charge (that would be me) and upgrading some other packages to 10mbit for most other customers.
There is currently a broadband war going on here at the moment between NTL & BT. BT are winning with 24mbit/1.3mbit at the moment for home users.
The extra upload will be nice anyway :D
Woo Hoo! That affects me as well as I'm NTL.
My bandwidth has shot up and then has rapidly been knocked down again several times over the past 3months so they've probably be testing it over here!
