Dsl, 256k (aprox 28kcps) down, 13kcps up. $49month including multiplexed phone line (use both at same time). 512k jumps to $99 a month.

What's yours?

Same as oilman and littleman. Mine's a little more because we have two IPs

Cable modem through GCI 256K for $41. Could go to the next highest for an addition $10, but haven't seen the need so far. :)

I'm in Australia - do you guys pay bandwidth charges on top of your monthly charge?

Through Genuity, I am paying $100/mo for 768K symetric DSL one static IP for the ISP, plus another $60/mo through GTE for the line. No limit on bandwidth. Genuity has been pretty reliable with minimal downtimes in the last year and a half. Their billing department is all screwed up, though.

You got my attention, oilman...
What did you use to uncap? Arp or bios utility?

Mine is same as oilman, littleman, mnw. 512/128 - $39.95 Canadian, unlimited bandwidth.

>>What did you use to uncap?

Found out I know a guy who knows a guy...

I can't see it really benefiting me though. Supposedly we have 128 upstream alread and I've never hit it. I can't see how just raising the ceiling will allow me to jump any higher.

in Japan
�6000/month for 128kbps upstream & 128kbps downstream cable modem. For �28000/month you can get 128kbps upstream & 256kbps downstream and a block of 16 IP addresses.

With that kind of bandwidth Oil, you could run a respectable website from home. Park your graphics out on the net somewhere and just serve the html from the home box. If your ip is static, put a domain on it. (I've served 1k pages a day off mine before - if you keep the pages small, and let the graphics come from somewhere else on the net - works good).

I've often thought about running a site from home just for the learning experience but I need to buy another box first and the current financials don't support it just yet. Right now I only have the one and since I use it for gaming there is a lot of rebooting going on.
