I have a 6Mb/s downlink and 768Kb/s (I think) uplink DSL connection for $30 USD a month, unlimited use...

I like it!

EDIT: Clarify speeds a bit...

Yes.

Here, like in almost all smal towns in Argentina, the telefonic company is a cooperative, owned by the residents of the town. Thats why offers good prices.

The company in this town is very advanced, offers good services with very acceptable technology and far prices.

Where the HELL are you living and what is your ISP? I need that DSL connection!

EDIT: Oh, but your upload speed is very bad.. I have a 2Mb/1Mb connection for 24€.. It isn't very speedy, but I think it's a fair price.. becuase I don't do much on the net..

I think you can get a 2.5 gbit uplink for a few thousand € a month

(A guy who works at a backbone @ netherlands told me that)

But its just lovely to have a 5mbit upload. The 5/5 mbit is pretty straightforward compareable to a 6/6mbit adsl because of low noise.

It's the upload you are paying for...
I know, 1 MB upload is not much, but it is the fastest upload speed the ADSL2+ technology can achieve.

My point

But I use that upload.

Oh and i get TV in with the fiber too, HD quality of course (for the channels which support it). And phone too!

However, if you can't get anything but dsl i would go for the 20mbit. Its cheap!

Num3: a 10 gb limit?? I think i go twice that much, both on up and download hehe

I live in Chicago, Illinois, USA and my ISP is AT&T.
That upload speed might be 1.5 MB, I'd have to actually go look at the plan to know for sure.

@Ricardo

You house looks really great!!

Thanks!

The house is 130 years old, made with big stones. It was in bad shape, with no roof, water or heat. My wife and I fell in love with it anyway, and we had a very hard work to restoring and improving it.

I thought DSL was supposed to have the same upload speed as download speed?

xDSL is a generic term for several techologies, like ADSL, SDSL, HDSL and VDSL.

That is nearly never the case
