What do you pay for internet?

With my internet company, you always seem to get more than you pay for.
I pay $42.95 per month (no contracts) for Shaw internet service. The $42.95 is supposed to be 15Mbps down and 1mbps up, but I usually get at least two extra megabits, and sometimes i can be up in the area of 26.5Mbps. This was over a Wireless N connection, btw.

Both! Well almost. I normally get around 14.5 to 17 MB download and around 0.9 to 1.2 upload.
I believe it's because I live so close to the exchange. I know it's quite far from reality.
£21.50 a month for 24mbit down (22.8mbit actual) and 2.5mbit up (2.5mbit actual). That goes to my ISP, and then £10.50 a month to BT for telephone line rental.
No data caps, no traffic shaping, just pure speed.

I'm very jealous of some of you folks. I pay $42/month for 3M down/384k up for AT&T dry loop DSL. I have no active home phone line, so they feel the need to charge me an extra $5/month. Have I mentioned lately how much I hate AT&T?
Sadly, my only other option is Comcast, which is a lot faster, but Comcast is one of the few companies I hate more than AT&T.

$35 w/ Bright House cable modem is Tampa.
I get 7mb/.5mb
Upload suck, but downloads are sweet.

I really despise internet providers in my area, qwest and mediacom.
I'm on a 12/856(?)k line. It's not bad, but it's more than $50 (the price keeps changing because I keep changing my 'package' with them). I was with mediacom for a long time, I changed because on the phone qwest sounded cheaper. It's not. It's the same damn price....
...and don't get me started on DirecTV.

I pay US$30 for an unlimited 8Mbs downstream but only have a 0.8Mbs (80kbs) upstream speed. All in all I think its a pretty fair deal, looking at the other rates quoted.
On a recent bill I saw it was £90 but I think that has phone as well not sure...
Internet is £30 according to BT Business
Line rental is £10 according to BT Business
So I am guessing £50 for phone calls
Anyway I'd say £30 until I find the bill again.

Used to pay $25 for Comcast, 6 Mbps down. The price was raised to $35. Then $50. That was when I stopped the service.
My apartment has free internet, only 1.5 Mbps, but it's free so I ain't complainin'.
