I just got my $4.95 increase in the mail yesterday and I am finding it very difficult to see the justification for any increase.



6.5 Mbps download and 900 Kbps upload
With 12-month agreement Access fee $64.90/month CAD (including $4.95 increse)

Wondering how this compares to other plans.

Thnx

$45 for 6MB
no caps
If you think thats too much, check into ISPs peering costs (if they pay for it) and other bandwidth charges from possible upstreams.

$47 (incl tax) for 4mb/512kb

you are getting 6mb? thats a pretty decent price i think, but then im an extreme heavy user and need all the bandwidth i can get

That's what I pay for 1500/384 with speakeasy
static IP (the big $$$)
8 emails
8GB news quota (1GB per email)
no hassles
good customer support

If I could get 384 up and a static IP for any cheaper, I would. But that seems to be as good as I can get both of those.

FVCK CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS!

I knew I was getting r@ped...

3mb/256k for $52.95/mo!!! :( :|


We used to have the special all of last year for $32.95/mo for the same speed. But then they raised prices and $45/mo only would get you 384k/128k!!! Somehow I ended up getting the fast one for $22.95/mo (!!!) but that was at my old house so it was only for a month or two. But now, with 4 other roommates, we have no choice but to get the most $$ one. C0ckgobblers...
