Re: PBW Auto turns are back on.
I am somewhat curious how much a broad band connection costs in US and other countries? For example, here is some prices from Finland:
ADSL 256/256 kbps ~ 35...50 euro/month.
Cable modem 525 kbit/s ~ 50 euro/month.
slower broadband connections (ie. 128 kbps) go about 30 euro/month.

Re: PBW Auto turns are back on.
Here in France it would be something like 20 euros for a 128kbits ADSL (that is, max download speed 16k/sec) and around 40 euros for a "proper" ADSL at 512kbits or 640kbits. There are other much faster connections in a few cities, but I don't know their cost nor how it works, so.

Re: PBW Auto turns are back on.
I pay 35 USD/month for cable connection. (got a router and have 4 PCs connected to it)

Re: PBW Auto turns are back on.
I pay 30 USD a month for 1.5 mb/s down and 128 kb/s up DSL. Though admittedly, it was on some discounted plan with a year long contract, and it normally costs 40 USD. My parents pay around 20 USD a month for cable, which runs a bit over 3 mb/s down and 128 kb/s up. It is packaged with basic cable tv, but that is not really much of a cost issue, as they would have gotten the same cable tv package either way. Such a plan would have been pointless for me as I already get basic cable for free (or some small hidden flat rate in the rent...) in my apartment complex.

I've never really measured it. It's fast enough that I find I'm usually waiting on the site to keep up with me. I downloaded the new (trial) Version of MediaFace (v4.0) a few days ago. It was 80MB and downloaded in about 5 minutes. Upload is about twice the speed of a 56k Modem, though, I think.
