About $50 a month.
I play ~$100 / month for 50/5. Meh.
I pay $60 a month for 25 MBPS download speed. It comes with a cap of 250 GB of data a month.
Ouch, guessing New Zealand or Australia?
SHAW Cable in Canada. The prices here are ridiculous for internet. There are other internet providers here, but I've found SHAW most reliable.
This is the site, if you want to take a look at the option we have here:
http://www.shaw.ca/internet/I agree that shaw is the fastest internet but Telus tends to offer specials now and then that undercut them
That said between telus and shaw
Shaw is faster but Telus can be as reliable and cheaper
However if we compare it to this place called Olds Alberta it helps me to realize how ripped off we are in mobile internet and phone services
http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/small-alberta-town-gets-massive-1-000-mbps-broadband-boost-1.1382428Well that's just sickening, LOL!
I've been thinking about switching to Telus on and off for a while now, but I've had really bad experiences with them in the past. Shaw has raised my rates twice over the past 12 months and I've got nothing extra in return. We do get bent over a f'd dry here in Canada when it comes to cell and internet. I mean, I pay $82 a month for my cell service, and that's with 250MB I think for data. Oddly enough, I use Telus for that, LOL!
We definitely should have more options here i Canada. IN and around Vancouver we have 2 option for TV/Internet, Shaw and Telus. Cell options aren't much better. Telus, Rogers, and Bell. The monopolies need to end!
I agree with you kind of made a tiny mafia here in response to their monopoly.
Basically discovered Bitcoin and found some good wifi extenders and range boosters at the Bitcoinstore
(Not for sale in the stores around here so had to use my BTC)
Then talked with a neighbor of ours who was already paying for fast internet from Telus and asked for their wifi password using the boosters we split the internet bill between us and cancelled our service with Telus but have the wifi range increased so that it extends to our house.
Was inspired from a MMM thread (Mr money mustache) Added the link below
(Basically a normal wifi router blankets your house and not much more but with boosters the range can be expanded a fair bit)
With a Dlink Wifi booster from Staples we now have a 5 bar system in the house and share costs instead of taking the full burden.
Now the internet costs only $25 dollars a month on our side the rate we had two years ago before all these ridiculous price increases from Telus and then Shaw aka the promo pricing.
Was $47 for a year but we had to argue that rate since they wanted to increase it to $55 like the new clients.
So rather than haggling with telus it made sense to just buy the equipment and then have the system pay for itself in
LESS than a year.
Since the minimum for internet service only is around 55 dollars a month which is just too expensive there was a large margin to undercut.
I agree with you mate we definitely need more options if your a student with telus they tend to give you a special at the beginning of the school term of 30 dollars a month for a year which is the cheapest deal around.
Even give out 50 dollar visa gift cards to sweeten the deal so if you can get that might be worth it as well 15mbp plan add 5 dollars and you can get the same deal for 30 dollars. (Think it went up 5 dollars now) So Up to 15 = $30 25 = $35 and 50 = $40 for a year something like that
Old link but that offer is more or less the same and recurring every year.
http://forums.redflagdeals.com/telus-student-internet-25-a-1367992/Now if only could figure out a way to get cheaper mobile service
Can only go so low without data Fido and its 30 dollar plan
Since it uses the Roger network pretty reliable although I have pondered wind and koodo but contracted lol.
Still a smartphone and wifi then a 20-30 dollar plan saves a bundle but I wish we had a republic wireless here
