I myself is around the 95$ (calculated from Danish) for 768kbps upload speed.

This is what I'm used to paying, and what I would have if my lines were good. Bandwidth is not as expensive as it used to be for those lucky enough to have good phone lines. I talked to the cable company about a commercial account, and they want $189.99 for 512K up. I kindly suggested they take their 512K up and stick it up.....anyhow, you get the idea. Cable modem is a friggin' joke. I can get 256kup/512k down for $90 a month with cable. My old DSL was 256k up/768k down for $45/month. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
