    I have cable internet and my download speed is up to 5 mbps, and up, 256K.  I pay 44.95 (US) per month.  We have NO other choice.  Qwest DSL is just as expensive for a comparable speed.

    How about the rest of you?

    Well, I pay 20$ for 6Mbs download and 2Mbs upload, I have 2 more months of that and then I'm supposed to start paying much more, but I won't :smile: because I will switch to at&t for the same stuff I think.

    I say we put it on Robbie!! :)
    I stand amid the roar
    Of a surf-tormented shore,
    And I hold within my hand
    Grains of the golden sand—
    How few! yet how they creep
    Through my fingers to the deep,
    While I weep—while I weep!
    O God! can I not grasp
    Them with a tighter clasp?
    O God! can I not save
    One from the pitiless wave?
    Is all that we see or seem
    But a dream within a dream?

    AT&T is an EVIL corporation who freely gives out personal internet and telephone usage information to the US government without a warrant and without justification.  I won't give those bastards a dime!
