I was in the states in 2004 and saw a few TV commercials for internet providers and monthly plans being offered. Is it true in the states/UK you have no such thing as a 'download limit' - I'm just curious to see how backwards we are in Australia and how much we're getting ripped off.
I'm paying $90 AUD/month for ADSL2 (includes home phone unlimited local calls) - 7 gig download limit a month. |

I have a 15Gb download limit, after that I pay £0.60 per gig, so I can dowload all I want if I pay for it. I think it costs about £21 per month at the moment, unlimited is £24.99 per month.
I may upgrade to the unlimited plan, then I don't have to worry about it. |

Comcast here too. They will throttle your speed if you repeatedly download over a certain amount of data but I haven't had it happen to me, yet. *crosses fingers* |

Sir Scam. the trick is dont use their modem. go by a linksys one but not the one that sez for comcast. the ones for comcast has filters to limit you on speed and they can throttle you back. the non for comcast one they cant. Ive got warned by them a few times because of my DL speed when I had powerboost. I was getting speeds WAY up there. all they could do is take the powerboost away to try and control my DL speed. |

^^be careful, from what I've heard of Comcast (all bad) they can and will throttle and shape your traffic on their servers, doesn't matter what modem you use. Apparently they especially loathe torrrents, much like every other ISP. |

I've heard Rodus. At the moment they're just looking for ISP's who are interested in taking the trial run. I hope my one isn't one of them.
O brave new world. Well, not quite. |

You'll all laugh about my connection, but it comes with a great view and no neighbors for miles. Speed promised 1500 kb/sec. I have a download limit but not enough patience to get there Average speed ± 1250kb/s
And that for $42 Canadian per month and such an improvement from a phone line with a modem that loses connection at least once a minute.
Yep "forty plum" is great living, but forget the normal hookups even the electrical power drops to zero for an hour or two at least once or twice a month and after every thunderstorm.
And I still think I made the right choice buying my home here. |

Not if it's blocked at ISP level. Then even Tor is blocked or really really slow. |

and I have used it heavily at times, occasionally at capacity for 24/7 for a couple of weeks every couple of months with occasionally up to 6 systems connected through local LAN
Service is through AT&T - US$30.00 Per month (actually it's part of a package deal for phone service with unlimited nationwide calling & other services for a total $96.35 monthly) |

Mine is similar to that of Bill2. About 1250 kb/sec d/l for $30/month. It works off of an antenna on my roof. No d/l limit.
BTW, Comcast got in a jam with the govt. a while back for blocking pier to pier programs. I can't find the article but it should keep them from blocking d/l bandwidth. |

Here practically all ISP's dropped the 'fair use policy'. ADSL2, Unlimited download @EUR 40/M, 8 mbit down, 1 mbit up. (can be done a lot cheaper too, but I chose a reliable provider) |
