Where do you access your Internet?

Wow $0.17 per hour is extremely cheap compared to what you would hv to spend if you are surfing the internet in one of the internet cafes in my country. In internet cafes here, the minimum charge per hour is SGD$6. Of course it varies from cafe to cafe. There are some which charge SGD$8 per hour. I access internet at home as I have my own modem. But because I don't hv a printer at home, I go to internet cafes at times to print my documents. Wouldn't it be cheaper for you to get a modem or another device to access internet? Assuming that you spend 5 hours a day, you would be spending about $26 per month. Moreover, wouldn't the cafe staff ask you to stop if there are other customers waiting to use the computer? Isn't it inconvenient to go to the internet cafe everyday (unless it's very near your place)?

I just access it at home, I used to go to internet cafes when our computer didn't have internet access yet, or it is still slow. Now I don't need to go that far since our internet connection is good. It is very helpful..We have cheap internet cafes though, just 15-20 pesos per hour

I use internet at my home. Previously I was using in cc and it costs RM2 per hour. Yes you don't have to pay electricity and bills. But now at home I pay RM50 and plus electricity and bills may add up to RM100. At cc, I was paying RM10 a day so it was RM300 per month. Its cheaper. Hope you will get your laptop soon so because the cc is very noisy with kids.

17 cents per hour in an internet cafe is pretty cheap! I'm also from the Philippines and the internet cafes I see here in Manila charge around 20 pesos an hour. That's like 46 cents in USD. I have my own DSL at home that costs around 20 USD a month. If you spend 3-5 hours a day, I suggest you try getting your own internet connection at home.

im using internet access at home. the advantage of using internet at home is that i dont pay per hour in the internet cafe, i can used unlimited with long hours anytime and no one can disturb you.

i ussually play at home i think .17$ is cheap enough for an internet cafe with AC :D but it not secured

i usually access the internet from work and from home. mostly at home after the work.... and well i think i would not be able to afford going to a cafe everyday, i won't have time and since there is free wifi at home, i'd opt for it.

i think i always connect internet from my laptop...sometimes i go to internet cafe when my connection internet is not good... i use my laptop in home and my office... do you enjoy play internet in your internet cafe??

I currently own a usb broadband stick which I only spend 50 pesos or roughly one dollar to access the internet for 24 hours. The speed would fetch a clap or two but the connection is stable. If there is 3g or HSDPA signal it can reach more than 1 mbps speed. I'd like to attach a biquad antenna but I'm not good with electronics and can't risk losing the modem.

Hello Romscabs, I have broadband connection at my home as I do home-based online job of medical transcription. As far as advantages are concerned of using our own computer at home, most importantly they include safety of passwords. We can limit access to our computer at home. As of course, there is no disturbance at home. I have converted my study room into my workstation now. Previously, when I was working as an office-based employee, I used to have Internet access from my office only. I have never been to a cyber cafe in my whole life.

$.17/hour? Wow very cheap. Usually the internet shop here at our place cost $0.24(10pesos) up to $.35(15pesos) and if the cafe' has an air-con you will pay $.47(20pesos). By the way, I usually access my internet stuff using my own PC at home and at work. I only pay $19 for my internet connection monthly. You always have the advantage if you use your own PC because you have your own time and you can access internet anytime you want.

If ur spending 3 or 4hours then i advise u to buy desktop or laptop for the money ur spending in netcafe. I too love browsing and i do it since 4years it makes lot of expenses to me. But this years i get my laptop so sometimes i visit cafe so no problem for me.
