August monthly poll

For the month of August we thought it would be interesting to see how much a month you're paying per month to connect to the Internet. Feel free to mention who your ISP is, what you like/don't like about them, what type of connection you're using, how long you've been using it, etc.

Because most of the Computer Hope audience is in the United States all votes are being done in the traditional US currency. If you'd like to convert your currency (e.g. Euro) into the US dollar try this link.

All past monthly polls and results can also be found on the Computer Hope poll page.

I just asked my parents and we are paying SO MUCH for our Internet....but that's including another apartment we rent out (like a hotel room).

Google can do this too.

Type 20EUR=USD or anything like that.

Example, 20HKD=?USD

There is no option covering $11.  You might want to change the poll to something similar to the following:

Less than $10
$10 - $19
$20 - $29
$30 - $39
$40 - $49
$50 or more

about 24 dollars a month Verizon aint that bad.

$10 a month for AOL.  I got it for free for about two years, but they eventually caught on and started charging me.  Feh.  AOL gets a lot of flack from people, but it's pretty decent internet.  I'm quite partial to their e-mail (I love being able to backup everything locally) and the integrated AIM, and I get updates on all of the latest cryptozoology findings.

Good point. I've modified the first one to be $19 or less.

Mine is: 25 Euros = 38.48 U.S. dollars.

Thanks for the Google link Carbon.

If I look at my bundle bill (TV/phone/DSL), my internet is "free". Right...they make up for it by charging me up the yingyang for the cable TV. 

~$45 for cable from Comcast.

hey am from Kerala - India...  am using WLL type of net from BSNL.

they charge me 250 INR pm
 
ie.. about 5.95 $ pm

the connection is not bad comparing to other available options... but this one is a bit slower but its a unlimited plan. I get about 144kbps 
and a download speed of 20kBytes ps using Download Accelerator.

~$25 for DSL from Embarq.  DSL speed is rated at 1.5Mbps download, 384Kbps upload.  Faster speed is available for more money.

BTW, the money categories in the poll may have some people wondering what category belong in.  Many services are probably priced at $24.95/mo., $29.95/mo., etc.  So, if you pay $29.95/mo., that does not actually fit into any of the categories.  The solution:
<$20
$20 - $29.99
$30 - $39.99
etc.

I just noticed something else regarding dollor categories.  There's a gap between $30 and $40.  The categories show:
....
$20 - $30
$40 - $50
....

Why couldn't that go into the $20 - $30?  Maybe my calculations are wrong, but I'm pretty sure $29.95 is between $20 and $30.

Still...

i dont know cause i dont pay for it so i asked my mom and she didnt know either and on the site it says 29.95 for the 1st 6 months so i imagine that it will go up after 6 months and i had it for longer then that  i have roadrunner

OK, bad example.  But, look at the first two categories: $19 or less, and $20-$30.  Where does an amount between $19.01 and $19.99 go?
