I have Qwest DSL. It plus the basic home phone service comes to just shy of $80 per month. But I split it with my brother so I only pay like $40. I'm not sure how much the DSL service is extra. I have a router and we ran the cable through the house. It's on 4 different computers.
We pay for a higher connection speed than the standard DSL service Qwest offers. According to the CNET bandwidth meter test (http://reviews.cnet.com/Bandwidth_me...-7254_7-0.html), we're at 706.1 kbps. Which is about 88 kilobytes per second.
According to http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/, it is 838.9 kbps, or almost 105 kilobytes per second.
We're pretty happy with it. It's faster than our local cable company's product, especially since they tend to limit upload speed a lot.
(1 kilobyte = 8 kilobits)

Mine is ADSL which is supposed to cost an exorbitant $128 (about HK$1000) a month! Luckily we got this as part of a special deal, so the fees are about one third of the quoted price.

Guest repliedCurrently using Earthlink DSL for $49.99 before the various fees. I have another 6 months on my original Earthlink contract, and when it is up, I'll probably switch to either Comcast High Speed if they run a decent deal on it, if not, I'll stick with my DSL connection.

Comcast High-Speed (Broadband)
our only other options SBC Yahoo! DSL but we don't have SBC phone service. Comcast kicks ass. Enough said.

DSL on AOL for €9,90, plus 34,58 for the dAmn T-COM because they own the wires.

Verizon DSL as well. Only other broadband in my area is Cox Cable and they suck. When we had Cox it got so bad that we were getting speeds of around 2k down and .5k up. They could never trace the problem but always claimed it was on "our end". Switched to Verizon and haven't had a problem yet except for the time a Verizon crew rewired the entire street backwards.
