All this talk about net neutrality has got me thinking about how much a free market actually does to keep price competitive, especially with all the monopolies that telecommunication companies have all over the world.

I currently pay $40 USD a month for 200Mbps fibre internet, home line with free local calls and a "slightly" unreliable IPTV. And more for cable TV obviously. I could have 1 Gbps for the same price without IPTV but no switching mobile phones every year. So how much do you pay for your internet? I live in Singapore BTW and I feel so bad about complaining right now...

Actually I just want to give away a copy of Contrast but need a reason to open a thread. LVL 1 and above only though.

Edit: Over sorry.

P.S. Obligatory John Oliver video. That man's a genius.

Ours is bundled, so the price is skewed. 75Mbps, unlimited.
Thank God the government is not regulating the last bastion of free speech or the internet would still be called Arpanet.

Cable ISP - 120MB/s down, 12MB/s up, no FUP, cable TV included, shitloads of channels I never watched - around 30$/month
Also the CMTS is not older than a few years so no connection drop outs whatsoever. I am very much satisfied with my ISP.

In Portugal you pay around 59€ for 100 dw /25 up with IPTV (140 channels ) + 70 RF , Free phone ( national calls and 25 other countries) , the bandwith can go up to 400 mbits but the price will also go up to 200€. I live in a major city , some cities in here don't have fibre coverage yet but most medium to large cities have.

I'm paying $65 for about 50 Mbps. I'd rather it was cheaper, naturally, but lack any other viable options in the area. Some other companies have poked around a bit, but their rates are about the same and typically slower. Its Comcast, and their Support tends to be dreadful, but as long as you don't need anything or have issues, its been reliable and worth it.
