£35 a month for fibre and phone with free calls after 1800 to most land lines.


Basically download at 7.5-8.5 Mb a second on it. Its fast as hell. Plus net, the service is amazing but the unlimited has a 250gb cap as I just found out after Sarah steamed Netflix for a week solid.

I'm with BT. 70Mb down. 20Mb up. I can't remember how much it costs, but it's a standard, off the shelf package.

What's that about 720 something Rubles, not knowing the pricing system in Russia the pounds sterling sounds cheap to us in the UK.

Yes,you are right,also we have "Kopeck'.It`s the same as your "Pennies".Of course native pricing system sounds cheaper than others.For example:I was in the shop of model kits in Finland and i was amazed the high pricing system,i wanted to buy some brushes and one of them cost for about £0.90,it was a bit expensive,but in our city there wasn`t any shops of model kits .Most of the shops in Russia don`t buy modern pigments,washes and flock,etc.You know,it is a problem to buy a new.I hope,you understand me,English is very difficult for me.

I get 10.5 to 12.5 mbps down, 0.45 to 0.5 mbps up. £7.99 per month, up to 10 GB per month total traffic free with each 5 GB at about £3.00. Plus.net. Superb. Been with them for yonks. Over 15 years only three interruptions, all due to the BT backbone or something.


The above is fast enough for me. I don't do gaming etc. I test my speed when I go on to Bing (or Google) maps and if Europe slides around fast as I drag, that's OK. Fibre is available now but costs.
