[OT] Cable Modem Users, help me with something

Wow, are you guys in the States getting ripped off...

Through Shaw Cable I pay:

37.95/mo CAD

and regularly achieve 500kb/s download speeds and sometimes achieve as high as 1.5Mb/s late at night. I can download 10 GB before getting my hand spanked. Upload is slower at 200Kb/s, but that is OK by me.

This is in Edmonton, AB, Canada and when you figure in the exchange rate, I pay:

23.50/mo.

Living in Atlanta, GA.

Just ran a test at DSL reports the other night and it showed me as dl'ing about 1Mbps while uploading is capped at 128kbps.

I use AT&T broadband (cable), and pay $120/month BUT that includes my local phone service and digital cable with all the premium channels. If I had to try and break out just the modem price, I'd guess about $30/month.

Around $45 a month, I'm not sure exactly.

AT&T, though it's not like there's a choice involved. Most cities have franchising contracts with only one company. [/B]

Same as Meepo. But am on the introductory 25 or something like that for the first 3 months. Location: I used to live in hamland but moved to Chicago area, IL

Cable sure beats what I had before (AOL)
 

$45/mo.
Time-Warner Cable (RoadRunner)
San Diego, CA.
I'm not exactly sure how fast my connection is, though.

Updated: Rounding up from speed test results, it looks like I've got 2Mbit/s for downloads and 384Kbit/s for uploads.

Yes, but we don't get our hand spanked for downloading too much.
