Here's the lowdown. Sign up for a 3 year contract with Sympatico High speed, for 59.99 a month in Ontario and 54.99 in Quebec and get a free 360 with 3 games (NHL07, GRAW and Live Arcade Unplugged Vol1), 1250 MS points and 3 month of live.

Considering I pay that right now for my Cable high speed, it's a pretty decent deal.

Fuck Canada

[kyoukan]

wow, I pay $31.99 for my high speed broadband internet in BC.

[Gonzoie - Luclin]

I assume Comcast has some of the highest costing High Speed. But im almost comfortable to say its the best in the areas where you can get it, and most likely soon to be one of the most reliable in the nation upon their expansion.. They are HUGE on the east coast in most areas.

How fast is that? All broadband is not created equal. I pay 59.00/month but I'm getting 12Mbps. The cheaper offering from my cable company is 45.00/month for 7Mbps.

I think the FIOS peeps are getting the best price per Mbps in the areas it's available.

Not such a great deal after all since they're jacking the price by 13 bucks a month over the course of 3 years, which somes up to the price of a new 360.

I guess someone who doens't want to foot the bill upfront. This would help somewhat.

I'm paying 50.23 a month for my internet connection. 6MB down, 800k up.
That includes modem rental and taxes.

[Aslanna]

$27.99 for SBC (now AT&T) DSL. 6M down 768kup. Good enough for my purposes.

[Deward]

Lucky Bastards. I am paying $50 a month for 3MB download here in WI. Fucking cable companies.

[Jarori Bloodletter]

I pay 46.73 with taxes for 8mb down and 768up

Its somewhat costly but its a hell of a lot better than fucking DSL here which sux mucho ass.

Mine increased a few days before October 7th when it was supposed to. Do you use anything that maximizes your bandwidth? I get a steady >11Mbps using Newsleecher/Giganews.

I have FIOS, and love it. I don't know how much I actually pay for it, but its in the same range I think as what you're paying but its 15Mbps. If you can get FIOS, you won't regret it.

Yeah, at these speeds, you can treat the usenet as a movies-on-demand service and grab a divx/xvid movie (~700mb) in 5-6 minutes, watch, delete and still have the movie available for ~75 days if you wish to view it again. TV episodes which run ~350mb take ~3 minutes to grab for an hour episode (well 42 minutes after commercials are yanked).

Before, I was treating the Usenet as an MP3 jukebox, now it's been upgraded to video jukebox.

Someone needs to create a way to directly view/listen to movies/mp3s off the usenet. Just need a new compression method that decompresses on the fly without requiring the entire file.

[kyoukan]

Yeah imagine how efficiently you can steal people's hard work and talent then. You'd be a fucking mega parasite.

[Winnow]

Imagine doing this and still spending more than you (well what your husband gives you to spend) on music, videos and books.

Wow, amazing huh? Spare me your piddly efforts to try and make yourself feel better about being the ultimate leech.

[kyoukan]

yeah nice comebackl those shitty flames aren't boring or anything. the difference is that nobody's ever handed me anything and you're a worthless fucking leech who never spends his money on anything he can't steal for free off the internet.

[Winnow]

Christ, your pirate flames are a snoozefest. The only thing mildly entertaining about them is the irony.

Queen of the torrents. "OK VVers! I need you to seed this movie damnit!"

lol? lollers?

What a joke. You must have used up your allowance on some fancy new drapes or something that month.

[Asheran Mojomaster]

My connection is included with my rent...not sure exactly how fast it is but good enough for me. I've been able to download at 2ish megs per second on bittorrent before though.
