Well in my case i'm paying it monthly around $23.50. I hate to pay sometimes when I experience some internet slow down or intermittent connection. Worst was last time when we have no connection for 2 weeks. Good thing our provider made some correction to our bill.

Of course, I don't get my internet connection for free I have to pay about Rp125.000 each month, or it is around $15 in Dollar. With that fee, I can get: - Unlimited Bandwidth - Download Speed up to 0.37 Mbps - Upload Speed up to 0.1 Mbps (got that speed measurement from here: http://www.speedtest.net/ ) - Several disconnections and slow connections in a day Well, I am happy enough with my connection. If I need some better and fast connection, then I will go to my college

That's a good connection and cheap too. Need to pay bills just to keep us online.

Stick with the provider and search for another promo that is cheap as well. That's what I always do when i see a better promo I switch into it.

Yes, if we are seeing the speed and the quota, it is cheap enough.. Unfortunately, it is just a promotional price. When 2011 end, the price would be raise When that time come, I think I will find another internet provider

Hi I am not actually using faster internet. So its quite less. Around 2$ for 3Gb. So for a month I am spending around 4$ for Internet purpose. I am using prepaid plan so sometimes i used to upgrade for faster plan (3g) then the price gets suddenly raise and its become around 21$ for 10 gb. But that speed is very good in compare of my slower package. But I rarely go for that high speed plan. So most of time 4$ is enough.

Great that's to cheap. Ours is a monthly basis and it's constant and speed is quite fast with unlimited downloads. $4 a month is really cheap huh.

Having unlimited downloading is the great one. Even I was using usb modem which is giving unlimited downloading. But it was little costly than my current plan. So i chanted it. But still I am using it some time.. Just a recharge and it works for a month.

Hi Jacruz! I used to pay almost $25 with my previous internet service provider and it was a fixed amount, I mean, even if I don't use it, it will still be the amount that I pay. I think that's true for most plans, right? Right now, I am connected in the internet through my mother's computer shop. That's why I don't pay anymore internet bills.

yup mine is fixed too. It's good for you your mother is paying for the bill. Your computer business must be successful. I'm also planning for an internet cafe business in the future since I can fix a computer myself or install programs/games on it.

I pay my Internet Bills monthly and even though there's still some downtime, overall I am satisfied with their services. The only issue I have with them is that during the peak hours or summer time, they have the tendency to be really slow. I normally have to use 3rd party tools just to have a decent download rate. On off peak hours though or on off peak seasons, their download speed is blazing fast which is actually good for me since my Internet time is during these hours.

What do you mean 3rd party tools to increase download speed? I would like to try it since i'm also experiencing downtime sometimes. Thanks for that info and would really appreciate for your positive response.
