Do you pay money for internet?

hi,mine is monthly rent..$15/month unlimited browsing time...the connection is from BSNL,a government service..

I pay about $30 dollars every month for cable internet. I don't go many places with my laptop other than school that are considered wi-fi. I have used hot spots when I've been out of town in Tennessee because there wasn't any internet. I still think it's a rip off paying $30.00 a month for "lite" roadrunner internet, not even the full speed internet. It still works almost the same, but full speed costs $20.00 more and not much more performance. Such a rip off.

Well we still don’t have free wifi hot spots but we have descent internet speed now. The broadband speed is increasing day by day and now I can enjoy high internet speed and that is one thing which is very important now a days. Without that I think it will be difficult for me to go to the internet.

personally I pay for my internet, I wouldn't use hot spots as they are effectively a lan local area network and as such are quite insecure. The only time I use hot spots is with my I-Phone but there is no confidential info stored on my phone so not too fussed about it being insecure.

Yeah.I am in college now.I pay 20 RMB/month for internet service.It is very cheap,but the speed is not as fast as before.I don't know why it is very slow now.Maybe many students have had computers now .

Paid service. There is no public (free) Wi-Fi hotspot around my place, so my only solid solution would be to have cable or DSL service, the latter option being my choice. Fast, reasonably cheap, secure, and I do with it whatever I want. Wanting to rely uniquely on hotspots isn't too useful because there are so many downsides to it that it's only really interesting to make use of such things on tight spots. First, if these hot spots are public they're most likely unprotected wireless networks. No encryption means having all of your data sniffed unless you take measures of your own like using a VPN and connecting to it through a secure enough method; ironically, if you have a paid internet service at home your computer would work just fine for this. Second, availability. I'm sure some cities have some great coverage and in fact some countries have a WMAN system installed that provides every citizen the chance to use a public, free, wireless internet access as long as you have the appropriate equipment. Lastly, capabilities. Certain possibilities are just taken from your hands because you can't execute port forwarding. No peer-to-peer, no Web/FTP/etc servicing, etcetera. There are many things that would depend on this, and you need a connection of your own for such. So, hotspots are great for having a short lived access to the Internet while you're on the go, but personally, I'd never rely on it as a substitute for my regular Internet access.

If you want more bandwidth then you have to pay for your ISP. Using wifi on hot spots is just an alternative when you are away from home or office and you have to make some emails and check the status of your business or your facebook. Well as for me I do pay for my internet connection.

I pay for the internet. There are a few wi-fi local hot spots. But they're like pretty expensive cafe's where you get to sit and order something to eat unless you're out of the place. So that's pretty much the way I use my internet. By paying for it.

Well I live in hostel and internet is available there so I don't need to worry about paying.
