Default What do you pay for Internet?

I'm curious what everyone pays for their Internet connection and what type of internet conection you have?

I have cable and pay $39.95 a month. The real price is higher - I believe $59.95 if I remember correctly, but I have been using Jeffrey's junk mail saving trick that has kept it lower than normal.

We pay $45 just for cable internet. I've used the same company for several years and can't bring myself to try a much cheaper DSL line.

Default Re: What do you pay for Internet?

I use Qwest DSL and pay about $27 plus all the taxes which bring it to about $30 or $33 I think. It is billed along with my phone bill. It would be about $10 higher but I ask for no online service...like MSN...I don't need it and don't want it so that makes it cheaper.

It's a T1 - we live in family housing at the university. It's free - sort of - they made it free, but then raised the rent...go figure. I enjoy the speed and cost

I assume that you mean that you enjoy the "lack of cost".

Verizon is currently running a deal at $14.95 a month for DSL.

I really should switch since I have Comcast cable for $45 a month and am such a creature of habit.
