All this talk about net neutrality has got me thinking about how much a free market actually does to keep price competitive, especially with all the monopolies that telecommunication companies have all over the world.

I currently pay $40 USD a month for 200Mbps fibre internet, home line with free local calls and a "slightly" unreliable IPTV. And more for cable TV obviously. I could have 1 Gbps for the same price without IPTV but no switching mobile phones every year. So how much do you pay for your internet? I live in Singapore BTW and I feel so bad about complaining right now...

Actually I just want to give away a copy of Contrast but need a reason to open a thread. LVL 1 and above only though.

Edit: Over sorry.

P.S. Obligatory John Oliver video. That man's a genius.

£5.00 a month (for first 6 months) for up to 17mb (get around 3.5mb) unlimited BB and free weekend calls with BT, cant remember what it goes up to after the first 6 months, think its around £13.00. the service is pish, it can randomly slow down with no obvious pattern. i used to have the full package for Sky tv with HD and multiroom and that was just under £90.00 a month but i recently cancelled this.

Slightly different situation. I'm in a dorm, and my school, about a year and a half ago, throttled the dorm internet connections greatly. We get about 10Mbps now. Used to get, oh, ten times that easily. I even work for ITS, and I haven't heard a good reason for it. Makes it annoying when my formerly crap internet at home which got upgraded pro bono by the provider is suddenly significantly better than my school situation, which used to be pretty good... while my tuition and stuff keeps going up.

100$ for 50/10 and TV (includes HBO and NFL network) with comcast. I think they offer 100/20 for 10$ more but I dont think I need it.

Centurylink recently came to my door telling me internet is available in my area now from them. Its cheaper, same speeds, but they have a bandwidth limit. Funny thing is they try to tell you that they dont have a limit but my friend who was with them until recently told me they enforced it and even showed it to me on their website.

E: Technically Comcast HAD a limit (they've suspended it for the past 2 years or so) but they never enforced it ever since I lived here in 2003.

I live in Hungary, and they even wanted to add Internet Tax, which would have been 2$/GIGABYTE! Also we are paying around 35$ for a 12 Mbps net, which only downloads with 1.5 MB/s, and dies if my sybling plays LoL. I mean he has like 500 ping. So we are paying 35$ for a bundle of internet, TV and phone(wired).

Had to sign 2 years of loyalty, but as soon as it ends, we'll change. They try to rip us off every month, by billing far more than we agreed in.

For that I get 120 Mbps - unlimted, telephone line rental with free weekend calls + cable (they have 3 packages for normal non-premium channels, I'm on the biggest one, sport and movies would be extra)
