$29.95/mo (down to $19.95 if you use/pay for the right phone services), 1.5mbps, unlimited, 256k upload. Some web space and email space, gigabytes, not used so not sure how many.

Nice cheap USA dsl ... (Socialist internet someday ... someday ... )

	Suffering from ads?

quote: Originally posted by VetLegion Truth is, I deserve mora bang for my buck. For example, in Deutschland DT which owns our national operator is giving 1024/512 flat rate for 15€/month! So, the same company is charging Germans (who are three times richer then we are) half the price they charge us

That's a bit of an urban legend I guess. First off, it's not 1024/512 but 1024/128; not that the upload speed would make much of a difference, though. And second, the 15€/month does not include the DSL addition to the phone line subscription either. While I agree, that it is somewhat cheaper in Germany, it's not in the degree you describe.

Maybe, but my ISP has a very leading and innovative nature. Instead of being the price-fighter, like any other ISP over here, they aim for product leadership to acquire and maintain clientele

Zop: I'd rather have all 1.5 Mpbs all the time than laggy 1.5Mbps for half the time for 10 dollars less.

That's cheap internet you people get, I'm paying 67€/month for a 1.5/512, but at least there's no usage limit and I'm not required to have some expensive phone line subscription
For some time there has been a lot of talk about the high prices, but the company who owns all the lines don't want to make it cheaper for other ISPs to rent it. Now they have finally gotten some official people to take a look at the situation, which hopefully will get the prices down, but because these guys have other matters* to attend they wont look at this for at least a year

* At the moment 'power companies' (?) all around DK has started to get into the Internet bussiness. These guys jobs are AFAIK to check it out if they should be stopped or not. In about 3-4 months (if everything goes as planned) this will make it possible for me to get a 2.3/2.3 Internet connection by them for almost the same price

Yes. I took ADSL because of the better upload, but @Home doubled their upload twice last year and they raised it again last month. So now I can upload at 80 kbyte/sec which is even more than the 600 kbit they advertise.

By the way, I checked the telebyte.nl site and it says that teh 34.95 offer is only for subscribers of the Computer Totaal magazine. The normal price is 44.95. But several ISPs are now starting to offer ADSL2+ at low prices.

I'm still quite skeptical about ADSL2+, especially with regard to Versatel. Their service offering seems rather dodgy, but then again, it's related to John de Mol

Yes, the Telebyte requires a subscription (to Computer Techniek BTW, not Computer Totaal), and it runs on the BabyXL network. I think the offer is questionable because it doesn't seem to be very transparent.
The thing they're hiding from you is that your contract lasts two years instead of the regular one, and that if you want to switch to a different ISP (even when your contract has expired), you need to pay them 75 euro.

I'm glad that you're satisfied with @Home. I've read a lot of poor reviews of @Home.
