Pay for Internet

How much do you pay for Internet service per month? What kind (cable, DSL, FIOS, etc.) do you have and what speeds do you get?
I pay about $60. I see real-world speeds of 4-8 Mbps from faster sites and my upload is about 700 kbps via Time-Warner/Roadrunner Cable.

FiOS: $65/month, 20Mbps up and down, real-world numbers. It's nice.

Bell DSL: $45 CAD/month, 4-7mbps, 800kbps up, unlimited up/down
I don't know how it is in the states, but unlimited bandwidth up here is the important point of the bundle I got. Most ISPs limit anywhere from 60GB-100GB up+down per month.

Rogers Cable: $45 CAD/Month, 8-10mbps down, 800-1,000kbps up.
Limited bandwidth like Kevin mentioned, 60 GB I think /month, but DSL doesn't work from my home, even though I'm in a fairly old neighborhood.

Time Warner Cable, $36. (I don't have cable TV, just internet.)

Internode SOHO Naked ADSL2+ [Australia]
Cost: A$73.20/month, inc. $10 of included VoIP calls
Quota: 25GB/month download, unlimited upload
Down: 12.7 Mbps [could be higher if I lived closer to the exchange]
Up: 800kbps [hoping this will get bumped to 1Mbps soon]
25GB is actually only just starting to become problematic - the TV networks in Oz are screwing up all the schedules for ratings, so go figure what people are doing...sneakernet FTW 😀

$30/month for Clear WiMAX here in Portland, OR.
3 Mbps down, 1 up. It's slow but it beats paying more than twice that price for Comcast. Also I like the thought of supporting "new" initiatives for far-reaching wireless.

$35 per month via Time-Warner Roadrunner. I'm always wireless (router is in the kid's bedroom) and get about 5 Mbps down and 400 kbps up.
I wish Verizon FiOS was available here...for internet speeds and also a competitor to Time-Warner for cable.

Comcast, $60. 1.3 MB/sec from major sites like apple.com.

About $30/month, 12M down, 1M up, Netherlands.

Not entirely sure how it breaks out with AT&T, but we pay aout $225/month for our home phone (metered plan, ask for it), 6Mbps DSL, and cell phone plan with ~450 minutes, two iPhones (one 3G w/ unlimited text and one 2G with 1500 text), and a third regular line that I keep forgetting to cancel.

~40 USD/Month, TimeWarner. During the late evening and the morning, I'll usually hit around 7 mbit/sec, during the afternoon and early evening, usually around 3 mbit/sec. Never really tested the upstream.
Really wish FiOS would be around, tired of tethering my iPhone whenever TimeWarner decides to take down the neighborhood for a weekend.

$39.95 1.5mbps down/256kbps up TDS DSL. I am miles from the nearest town, so I should be happy I get any internet at all right?

I pay about $50 for 4Mbps down and 300 kbps up. I feel like I am getting ripped off, but that is literally my only high-speed option.

$30/month, for Comcast's "6Mb/s" but real world it varies wildly from 200Kbps to about 4Mbps. Upload is somewhere between 200 and 400Kbps.
