Are the posted questions getting worse?

    If you take out the 55 euro for the cell phone (which I don't have) it comes considerably under my bill 134 VS 165 Can$.

    What limits do you have?

    No limits on ADSL. It's a 7 Mb/s line with a nice fast ping. I can't complain about it.

    Cell phone is 5 EUR/month + (0.16 EUR / minute) + (0.16 EUR / call). No internet: that would be a crazy bill.

    So to sum up it's a heck of a lot cheaper over there :hehe:.

    It must be. So, why do I end up paying more than you? 😛

    I don't have a cell phone. I, like paul, have a rectangular black / white thingy that can call someone (and in theory receive too). I pay less than 5$ can / month for it using prepaid cards.

  • All these discussions just got me to look at my usage and lower my cell plan.

    I had an unlimited voice/unlimited data plan for the iPhone, but I've moved to a 900min/unlimited plan for about $100/mo.

    I used about 500-700 minutes a month, and about 350-400GB of data + who knows how much on wifi.

    No idea what we pay at home for the phone+DSL, but we have 1.5/768kbps service.

  • I have a cell phone because I'm on call ... if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have one at all.

    Company takes care of 20€ / month leaving me a bill of zero euros.

    My daughters cannot live without their cell phone.

    Each 15€ / month prepayed (60' call time (national), 1000 text messages (national), 1000 text messages ( operator ) and 2GB internet volume.

    If anyone is interested, before registering, give me a pm so my daughters can enjoy one month for free :w00t:

    And they are happy with their provider[/url]

    My internet shake is 50€ ( 50GB data volume ).

    +10€ "free call Belgium" for fixed lines.

    Ahh... that explains the disappearing unlimited data plans. Thanks Steve!

    Now when I hear AT&T say "we're only throttling the top 5% of users", I'll think of you.

    I think I made the top 37 once for Quebec for internet users. Not a nice conversation to have with the rep ;-).

    Was it a goal you set for yourself like what you do with top poster for the month on SSC?

    "this month, I'm going to use the most bandwidth is all of Quebec! To bit torrent!"

    3 years of my total usage (adsl + 3G). If you want compared to my phone, it's 450 years of my usage.

    Nah I was playing minesweeper online.
