post your internet connection here
This is the thread to post your internet connection... Brag about it, or cry about it. Try to include the price, because i want to know the prices of different types of internet connections
Me: 56k modem. Aol. Price: like 23 ( )bucks a month
The Intel Processor: Quality performance at 2, sometimes even 3 times the price. And even then we are not guaranteeing anything.

56K at home, unlimited free 24/7 for £13/month.
At work, don't know what it is but I got about 30k/sec off it from winamp.com.

Cable for about 35$ a month from Tele**** err Telenet
Kabel is even goed als ADSL en kost evenveel. Spijtig dat er zoveel mensen op dezelfde lijn zitten 
En belgacom zijn dieven

RoadRunner Sucks!
My connection costs $40 on top of have digital cable service. Since TimeWarner is a monopoly, they don't care about price.
Most users don't need this, but a second DHCP connection is $10.
RR doesn't offer Dynamic DNS services, and you can only get static IP and DNS services if you start paying $140+. There is a 40Kbps upload cap. And since they don't balance their subnets, you can wind up on a crowded cluster and never get better than 400Kbps download.
I've gotten 700, which was slower than the T1 in my last apartment complex, which measured 900.
It is notably faster than dialup services, and better than DSL. But TW has no competition and is relying on the AOL-ize public to fork over entirely too much money for entirely too little service.
Oh, forgot to mention, the @Home service in Florida offers static IP at much cheaper rates than RR's DHCP. I don't know about DNS services.

@home does rock. for an extra DHCP it is 5 bucks per. but you can network them together and get 2 for the price of one.
over all I think it is $40 a month.

$40? Which state are you in?
My father in law in Florida pays less than that and gets static IP (which he doesn't need).

2Mbit / 0.5Mbit cable.
Best line speed is 233 down and 62 up sustained, and I can hit 200 down, 53 up pretty much any time.
(Those figures are KiloBYTES)
