Well yesterday, I had started a discussion on the speed of internet you are using. But as I went through discussion, I missed asking the question, how much are you paying. If you don't mind, please tell me where is your location too...
Well about me, I am from Nepal. My internet connection is ADSL with 128Kbps or 15kilobyte per second. And the cost for this per month is about 13$ a month. I have to say this is pretty expensive. Don't you think so?
Thanks in advance for the response..

Hello nzalheart, I have a package deal of cable service and internet through the cable company. I do believe all together $55 per nonth. Could have added phone service to the package deal but then the price would have went up to nearly $90 a month so I use my cell phone as my home phone.My speed is Up to 1.5 Mbps down/256 Kbps up.

The $55 is part of the package deal of internet and cable television. If I would have not gotten the television service the price for the internet would have been $34 but I chose cable television with the internet so I got $10 off the price for the internet service.Well the speed is good, better than the last dsl I had which cost $22 for just the internet. I think the price is good on the package deal of both internet and cable television service.

Thanks for responding back ds6413.
Well there is no internet connection in my country yet that provides more than 512 kbps for home users. Most people are only using 128Kbps. In the present context, there is internet connection in one house per about 200 houses. Only few people have internet connection in their home and I feel lucky to have this. This is mainly because the internet connection is still so expensive for us. So people don't subscribe the internet until it becomes very much necessary.
I had heard about the TV cable with internet a year ago in Nepal too. I thought it would flourish here. But it did not develop much as expected. And nowadays, DSL line is getting popular and I am also using the DSL line but very low speed in comparison to yours....
See you again...Happy mylotting...

well, I'm from Mumbai(India). I'm using net from my mobile. Its actually WAP service. So i can't open any FTP servers! The speed of my connection is 460kbps but I'm able to utilize only around 15 kbps. Well, about the price,its only $1.00!!! Ya, it's very cheap. Some people get free WAP connections too! Even i can get free net connection through WAP!!! If a buy a new SIM card then net will be automatically activated and they won't charge a penny! Anyways, i don't want o change my SIM card so I'm using the same number and therefor I'll have to pay $1 every month for net connection.

Hmm!!! I am surprise how you mylot with you mobile. I am see some of the people like you here in the mylot, who use mobile for the internet and hopefully for the mylotting too. Are you using mobile phone for mylotting? If yes, then I wonder how fast you type in your mobile phone...
I haven't activated the WAN feature in my cell phone yet. It would cost Rs 100(Nepalese Rupee). I would have paid for this one. But still we have to pay per data we download in the cell phone. So it is of no use for me, specially when I have the internet connection in my home.
Yeah, If I were you, I too wouldn't change the SIM card. The number that is popular for us is too much important, isn't it?

LOL...i do type very fast fro my mobile...But I'm not doing mylot from my mobile. Its impossible to do mylot from mobile. LMAO....If i do mylot from mobile then my mobile keypad will go wrong before i get my mylot payment! To repair my mobile, it'll be at least $15 but I'll be getting only $10 from mylot! So, my profit will be -($5) and my hard work too! I'll be loss of so much! LOL
I don't think people doing mylot from mobile will have a good time! The mobile as well as the finger will cry! LOL

Well, we are paying $14 a month for our broadband connection.. the price is just right.. we used to pay $21 a month before and the connection was quite terrible.. the cheaper one is way better than the first one.. i love it, i really do.. and the good thing about it is that you can bring it anywhere you go.. it's very handy and very easy to use..

i am from china,in my home,i used adsl internet connection,speed 1M the price is $90 per year,that means no more $10 per month,i think this price for internet is reasonable can be acceptable.......also we can applicant 2M or 3M up speed,the price a little higher maybe $120 per year......but i think 1M is enough for writing online..... happy mylotting.

Hello machel2008!!!
The internet service seems to be cheaper in your case. The price is also cheaper and the speed is also 6 times faster. To write online, that is more than enough don't you think so. I am using 15 kilo byte per second and still this is enough for writing online...The internet price seems to really reasonable and acceptable there. I hope our internet price will be reduced with the development of internet service in my country Nepal too, your neighboring country....
Thanks for sharing machel2008!!! Happy writing
