What are the internet options in PP for internet at home?

Is anyone telecommuting from PP perhaps?

Any experiences with this?

How much?


Thanks.

Let me answer my own question then Very Happy

From the fantastic TalesofAsia website:

Quote:
If you're looking for a home connection here are your options:

Online: The best and also the most expensive. For dial-up they offer pre-paid cards providing six hours for $10, twelve hours for $20, thirty hours for $50, and sixty-five hours for $100. ADSL starts at $99 a month for a 128 kbps connection that gives you 800 mb free download plus $0.08 to 0.10 for every mb thereafter per month, the more you use the lower the per mb charge. Oh, and there's a $45 per month line charge on top of that. Yeah, ouch. Click the link for even more horrific prices. Trust me, you'll want to be sitting down when you see what a 1 mbps connection costs. Though bandwidth allowances have been increased lately, you won't be downloading too many lossless music files at these prices. They do offer an unlimited bandwidth connection at $219 per month for a 64kbs speed but you'll do will to get 10kbs at any one time.

Telesurf: Offers the wireless satellite system a lot of internet cafes use. Variable quality, poor customer service record. Prices start at $22 (10% VAT included) per month for a 64kbs connection for service that works when the sun is shining and the celestial bodies are in harmony with each other. $77 gets you 128kbs. Extra charges for bandwidth.

Camintel: A slightly cheaper DSL alternative to Online but not a company with much of a service record. $220 (10% VAT included) gets you unlimited bandwidth at a 128kbs downladed that hits 16kbs on a good day.

CityLink: Started out with cheaper prices than the others but is now pretty much the same as everyone else, charging $219 per month for the same sloppy 64kbs unlimited download.

Angkornet: The newest entrant on the scene.


Shocked
