    10 Mbit/s for free, the university pays for it.
    I think later this year, I will have to pay for it myself, about €10-15 (half the regular price).

      University connections aren't all they're cracked up to be.

      The connection to the university network may be 10BaseT (10 Mbits/sec) but the university's internet connection certainly doesn't support 10Mbits/sec per use. Far less.

        The connection between the Swedish universities (GigaSunet) is 10Gbit/s so at least it supports a bunch of users online simultaneously

        Edit: It used to be 155Mbit/s, that capacity was filled last autumn. The current GigaSunet is expected to be enough for another 3-4 years

          I have the same provider as Asher, so basically the same as him.

            If I did the conversion right, it's about 29 USD for me, monthly, and I pay that for a cable modem.

            Note that before I was on a modem, and prices would be above 100 USD every month, because Internet here is damn expensive with modems, especially because you have per-minute fee from BOTH the ISP and phone company.

              Pay nothing.
              But then, I work for an ISP and get dial-up connection for free.

              Live in the middle of nowhere, so cable and DSL are not available; too many tall trees block wireless; and satellite is too expensive for the limited amount of time I'm online.

                  Gah. Stupid American dollars.

                    40-44$ don't remember
                    average 600/128 cable

                    Same deal as tyni

                    10gig down
                    1.5 up

                    but everything done between 00.00am and 10.00 is only charged halve. If you go over the limit, you can either buy extra blokcs are stay on smallband until you're under the max. limit again (floating meter)

                    Europeans sure seem to have crappy ISP's. You need more laws!
                    don't forget wee still have many different countries (duh) with many different/languages etc..

                    And that internet was later introduced overhere

                    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

                      I pay around 28.7 $USD, shared with 3 people.
                      I'm on 1500k down, 256k up, 8Gb limit.

                      Telecommunication in Australia is still expensive, but thats what you get when your entire country's telecommunications were run by a monopoly. It is getting better though.
                      I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                              At the present I'm on dialup, but only because it is free when I connect to my school. If I had to pay, I'd get Cable, which would be $42.99/mo.
