Internet - your rate, your price

I heard the french high rate Internet is the cheapest of the world.
For example you can find here ADSL 512k for less than 20 euros, 1024k to 2048k for 30 euros (with TV by adsl, free and unlimited call on phones in France, etc...).

I'd like to use this international forum to know what kind of connection you have, and its price.

Now you know for France (maybe PMB or other french guys wantto add sth...)

Tell us about other countries now.

Ok for germany most people will have no choice
(Deutsche Telekom, state owned company):

20 € physical dsl-connection (just the posibillity of access, no Internet incl.)
30 € Flatrate by Deutsche Telekom
===
50 € per/month for 768/128 with lousy ping of 65+

other Flatrates are starting at 20€, but they are either resellers or do traffic shaping, a 5 GB/month non flatrate would still be around 10 €

extras possible :
fast path (ping of 15-20) = 25 € setup + 2 € per month (rip off ain't it)
1,5 mbit down stream = 25 € setup + ~10€ per month
hardware = 25 € setup + ~4 € per moth (they don't include any hadware apart a splitter)

ah and you need a phone line from Deutsche Telekom too, starting at ~20€ analog (one line) or 24 € for ISDN (2 lines, <=10 numbers).

If you life in a bigger city you have city-carriers, they all have prices like this for dsl wires :
1mbit flat + isdn telephone + all hardware = 45 €
2mbit flat + isdn telephone + all hardware = 60 €

or for cable tv wires:
2mbit flat + isdn telephone + digital tv + all hardware = 50 €


so not cheap, not much choice but good coverage of the country side (i hear cow's in the morning).

im interesset on other countries now :-)

here in the Netherlands we pay around 50 euro's for our cable internet. Don't know the exact up/download speed, i thought around 512K-bit.

Anyway,we're getting another isp , which will provide us 2Mbit

Cable internet, 1mbit down, 128kbit up, 40 bucks. If i didn't have cable tv it would cost 50.

me (also netherlands), pays also around 30 euro's and get 1024/320 kbit (in one year from 256/64 to 1024/320 with no extra charge **sigh** )

[Rick]

Yeah, first 256/64 then 386/96 and now 1024/128. I don't mind if they continue upgrading like this

[@$3.1415rin]
