[Gary Jibb]

Country: Canada (Ontario)
Type: Cable
Services: Just internet (option to bundle with phone and t.v. for "discounts")
Advertised Speed: 24Mbps Down, 1Mbps Up, 100GB per month
Price: $59.99 + modem rental $7
Satisfied: I guess (as satisfied as anyone could be feeding a giant corporation millions of dollars per year for something that costs cents on the $100 bills). I usually go over my 100GB per month, but the price is average for my area.

The modem rental in Canada is quite idiotic.. A modem shouldn't cost much more than €50. So at $7 a month it would be cheaper after about 10 months to use your own.

It should not have a lid on it either imo. Pay a fixed price and surf as much as you want is the best option.

I couldn't agree more with everything.
What I coudn't believe was

!!!!! That's beyond insane!!!

The price is just too high for me, especially for the amount of users each provider has. But the lower services are much worse bang for buck. My GF used to pay $40/ month for 128kbps service. I'd rather pay the extra $20 and get 20Mbps. Plus the fee on the modem?? It makes sense to just buy it from them, even though they charge $350 for it. More than likely it's proprietary based so you cannot get your own cheaper modem, because that would save you money (of which would go to a different company, in which giant-corp wouldn't like).
None of the smaller providers have caps on their usage.Which is a problem in my mind. Only certain areas have smaller based providers who do this, I'm stuck with mega-giant corp who feeds on public poverty.
There was recently a (some?) court case(s) that were trying to sue the bigger companies for such horribleness but who knows, maybe it was the huge comanies suing the little guys due to their own douchebaggery.

I just pay my bills and make sure I use 99.99% of what I get each month. They'll get what they have coming to them soon enough.

Woah! I have gotten all my modems for free :S I think the only thing i´ve paid for was my HD-box for the tele that cost $170 or so.

In Stockholm they are testing 1 gigabyte per second now (1.000mbit/s It costs $445 right now but will fall in price when it gets more users. I believe it was a "pilot-project"

Currently on 8mb and constantly get 8mb no throttling. Live on jersey with a population of 100000 so no need for throttling.

Gigabit Internet is hopefully gonna be up and running next year.

 

[GAIAjohan]

Even the TV receiver is free here. Soon I'll join a test pilot for HDTV over IPTV (DSL connection) + multiple tv connections one a DSL connection.. Last year I threw away the sattellite dish to get IPTV trough DSL.

I live outside built-up area, so cable is not available, and fibre won't be available for 100,000 years lol. But in big parts of the country they're laying down fibre. Currently KPN gives out 500mbit/s through fibre at a price of €70 per month..

But I'm happy with 21.5mbit/s through DSL.
