(to upgrade to 5mb/512kbps would be an extra $10/mo, still debating the upgrade)

3000/384, though more like 2400/325.

$52.95/mo (I think), but the company reimburses $50.

rated 3Mbits/600kbit but only get 1Mbit/120kbit since I'm 6.8km away from the CO :(
$44.99/month (cnd) including stupid $10/month modem rental fee. But since many customers have complained about the modem rental fee, it has now dropped (just started yesterday) down to $2/month but they raised the monthly fee so we still pay $44.99/month.

Price: $29/month

I'm with Timewarner/Roadrunner. First 6mos are $29, but then I switch to Earthlink and get the same speeds and pay $29 for another 6 mos. Then I change the name to my GF's for the next 6 mos and get it for $29 from RR, and then switch back to Earthlink for another 6 mos. Gonna use my mothers name now for the next year! :laugh:


Then my brothers name and so on. Saves me $20 a month, over 1yr thats $240 in savings, over 3 yrs thats $720! ;)
