I got and still have internet-troubles. (Yes, I payed all my bills.  ) That is why I was absent for a while and maybe as well in future. Really hope it got solved asap.
And for those who sent me emails. Same cause. Sorry! Try to answer quick.

Wowee, you have to pay for your internet? :o I can't imagine me paying for mine... I only get $30 a week! Good thing Freddy has money, we'd be lost without him.

@Wingy: Are you telling us in Canada Internet-access is FREE ??
@Freddy: That explains something..... Since almost nobody was active here in the last few days (except our Ping Pong sports) I had already suspected there's some secret activity going on behind the scenes or something 
(Aah: those conspiracy theories)

@ aquaMat
I think Wingy was saying his parents pay for his internet.

Yes, I meant that. I'm lucky!  And its only like $8 a month for 200KBps line! And to save money, we have a big cable going building-building saving the other building internet fees! The cable connects to the hub and goes through some holes in the walls, out and into the other building, and plugs into another hub, and that hub connects to the rest of the computers there!

Problems solved. Was a combination of several things. Hard disk with 136 GB of the 147 GB in use, leaving only 11 GB. (Bought an extern hard disk.) At the same time a program was running day and night, what slowed down about everything. And last but not least, I did reach the monthly limit of 35 GB up- & downloading. That is why my provider didn't throw me from the internet, but slowed down my working with the browsers. And then I mean slooooooowly. :
But it interesting to see and know what everyone is paying . Here, it costs me € 62 per month. Cheaper is of course possible, but then some things are more limited. In size, in speed, etc.

Yikes. That's a lot of Euros! :o
Internet access is one thing I get to take for granted. Not only does the university provide free (access restricted to students) WiFi in most buildings, but also my apartment complex provides fast internet, the price of which is included in a $20/mo. lump sum for utilities.
(Of course, the six of us sharing the apartment are paying $20 each. That includes gas, water, garbage, internet, and phone, but not electricity  )

My cost for Internet is about 22 € for 1 month, 0,5 Mbit ADSL. It is adequate for me.

I'm jealous!! I pay over $100 a month JUST for my digital services (HDTV, 648 down, 320 up and digital phone) Then there's cell phones, electricity, HMA fees, etc......

Sorry, made a mistake. My internet is $30 alone each month, including my phone! We pay less because, I'm like 30 minute drive away from a city, so its cheap here for internet/phone. €1 is like $1.60 CAN, and £1 is $2.00 aprox., CAN. Also, $1 CAN is about 87¢ USD. So think about it.
