It's expensive.

It costs me £40/month (that's $80/month) for my 3Meg Cable line.

It's about 60€/month, it's good for 3Mb, I'm italian e we pay 40€ for 640Kbit...

And what's the price for a 1Mb?

Sorry for asking, but i have a lot of thing to do ....

We pay ~£20 /month for 512k ADSL with Nildram (the highest we can get in our area short of a leased line). It's not bad.

NOto so bad for a 512k

And unless you need to compete with your inner duck or run a business from home where you need connectivity, fast, then, i see no point to spend more than what a 512 adsl line costs, I have one in dubai and its fast enough.

If you are using la megalinea di fastweb, you might miss the speed a bit though... youd need to get used to it I guess

No awfully I'm not using "la megalinea di fastweb°, and about neowin I was just readin it 5 mins ago... I think that the 512kb will be enough also because I don't have a lot of money... DOh

the price of broadband will be the least of your worries - Welcome to TAX island!

I thought that the uk was cheaper than Amerika....I knew some things were more expensive, like internet but not everything. Whats the current tax rate in the UK ?I usally buy in the tax free state New Hampshire :D But i dont live there so... :/

I dont even know the tax rate of the state I live in now. In new York it was something like 6.something or 8.something

I forgot.

tax is like 17.5% :/

and the USA is alot cheaper than the uk on everything :(

i got a 1Gb stick of ram from the us at half the price here in the uk :D

£17.99 a month for 1mbit.

Wanadoo I believe.

I pay £25 with BT for 1mbit. But I like the 2GB email and other extras you get with that.

take a look through www.adslguide.org

I'm on Nildram, and recommend it. Pipex is also good.
