I pay $74.99/month for 50/5 through Time Warner Cable. Location is Zanesville, Ohio, there's really no other option here. I can get 6/3 through AT&T for $44.99!

Higher grade of lifestyle there, also the competition is pretty small for lower prices.. Usually stuff costs more there, but the minimal wage is higher as well.

It has to do with my location, as well as competition. The only providers in my area are TWC and AT&T

Seriously? Expensive? Mate here in AU we pay 4x - 10x what you guys pay.

Yeah I cut the cord and gave TMC and ATT the finger and went with google.So far I've been at an average of 798mb/800mb.I'm happy with it so far..... but It's early and we don't know what the future will hold.

well sounds amazing honestly I get random outages and speeds are lower during peak hours. I would love to give google my money.

Yes it is. Only the big corps provide as they buy out competition and persuade the politicians in the state capitals to make new competition harder to establish(Google Fiber). My 2 cents.
Comment has been collapsed.
Internet is either slow or expensive becoz the corps don't wanna people to download stuff for free

the cable companies don't cate about that. But upgrading the lines costs money. It's more profitable not to bother and just charge a high rate anyway and no pesky cost controls like in other countries

Tired of American internet plans? Come to Italy, our internet is slow AND expensive!
Powered by decades-old copper cables, with cabinets so crammed with connections that sometimes we're cut off from the web for hours.
ISPs are so generous that they even add a bonus phone plan, and don't even allow us to have internet-only, as the phone line is so important we cannot really live without. (Although it's possible to have phone only, of course.)
Upload? With a staggering maximum theoretical speed of FIFTY kilobytes (yes, kilobytes!) per second, that is achieved only when the stars and planets align correctly (it's usually around 30), even uploading a simple photo to Facebook becomes a daunting task!
Want more?
Add €5 monthly, on top of the €45 you already pay, so that you can upgrade to... 1 Megabit/sec, that equals to 125 kilobytes/sec.
Think I was joking? Eheh... I wasn't. Really. It's all true.
Of course, fiber contracts are a lot better, but fiber optics is also rarer than good old copper, at least here.
And with the market having been a monopoly until the early '90s, and being an established oligopoly now, technological advancements are really slow, as ISPs prefer making us pay their old shit much more than it's worth, rather than investing in new techs.

35 € for 100/6 MBit/s here. I pretty much get that speed all the time, so it's not bad.

Move to Poland, we have cheap internet :3.
250/20 for 89 PLNs (22.8 $) monthly.

I've seen better offers worldwide, but yeah, I can't really say anything bad about that, I'm happy I have access to cheap internet, even though my current one is at least 5x faster than the one I usually need.
At least games are downloading fast :3

100/10 for 44.99 lol wtf is wrong with this price. I have the same deal for 18 euro
Comment has been collapsed.
For now, nothing. I still live with my parents, so they pay for the internet. But the speed is not too great (I think we have 15 or 25 MB/s, pretty sure it's 15), but I don't pay for it, so I can't complain.

ISP: TIM (formerly Telecom Italia), ADSL2+, 7 Megabit/sec Downstream, 400 kilobit/sec Upstream, no data caps, ping <60 ms.
That, plus unlimited phone calls, for 44,90€ monthly. Sadly, italian ISPs don't offer internet-only plans, not with cable at least...
If I were to separate the prices, it'd be something like €30 for the internet part.
No fiber optic option yet where I live, for at least another 2 years... although I heard there's a Vodafone fiber cabinet not too far from my house, those are the words of a salesman, so I'd take them with a proverbial grain of salt...

$41.29 per month 8Mb down / 0.5Mb up 100GB cap (12am-6am traffic doesn't count toward the cap).
Comment has been collapsed.
What country? Also, I think you might have switched "up" and "down" around...

That's a similar speed (just slightly faster) and price to what I pay in Italy, although I have phone line with unlimited calls (almost useless anyway), and no data caps.

$70 for 150/25 from Comcast here.
Usually get over 200 though at least.

$75-ish, ADSL2 6-10mbps. No real datacap (which means ~3TB in theory) far less in practice, gotta limit download speeds low to stay working).

We're in the process of switching from Verizon to Comcast. Both are evil but Comcast has much faster internet here with a lower price to boot.
Too bad those are the only scumbags in town though.

Try Angola, the dictatorship disguised as a democracy. 100$ (2/3 the minimum wage) for 2Mb down and 1Mb up, in KB that's 256KB down and 128KB up. The only other cable ISP is pretty much the same, the remaining ISPs have better speed but charge 27$ per GB of data used.

Be glad you don't live where I am in Canada. My neighboorhood isn't setup for fiber yet (which is sad since I'm in a major city), and cable service sucks here (had a 50 connection awhile back, ran about as good as the connection I have now), so I'm stuck on a crappy dsl connection of like 10/1 which costs me like $50+ a month, plus an additional $25 to remove the bandwidth cap. Honestly can't believe they're still allowed to have bandwidth limits on packages.

15$ for 120 Mb/s. I can't even imagine the prices you listed lol. Expensive as hell.

Almost 70€ fiber 300/300 + 2 mobile (one with 200minutes free calls + 2gb of internet, i dont use the other one, so... dunno exactly, but its shitier) + "internet tv" a website where i could watch tv, but with shitty channels + VoiceIP (also with a lot of free call time, never spend it) Spain

I am a Time Warner Cable user, I was on a pretty good deal 100/10 for 44.99, the prices increased this month to 54.99.
Called to cancel but they gave me back my old price so I kept them, was looking around and not very other good options in my area.
I used to have Comcast internet which in my opinion was pretty damn good, same price as time warner cable and more reliable but not in this area.
What does everyone think a good price to pay for high speed internet is, and what do you pay for yours now?
