How bad that this service is so expensive, but as you say you must pay for it is an investment for your work and distraction.

Hello @cryptopie!!you have to have faith that things will improve, because you have other expenses and not just the internet.

I agree. Its really frustrating. Their service is not worth our money, but what can we do? They're the only ISP here in our country, so we don't have a choice but to avail their services. Sad 😢 

I hope we'll have a better ISP soon.

Hola @cryptopie
Bueno.... dejáme decirte que en mi País Venezuela los servicios de elefonía, Internet, TV Cable, Agua, Electricidad, Aseo Urbano, etc, etc, etc... cada día son peor. No hay muchas opciones. 
Espero esto cambie para bien. Ahhhhh..... tenemos un Presidente que es un burro y se llama Nicolas Maduro ¿Lo has oído?. Bueno es un DICTADOR y está matando al pueblo. No hay medicamentos y si son Oncológicos ni soñar que lo puedas conseguir. 
El mundo tiene los ojos puestos sobre Venezuela y pronto se oirán noticias sobre cambios radicales y Ojalá así sea.
La inflación en lo que va de año ya llegó al 4.800 % (Cuatro mil ochocientos %). El pueblo tiene hambre y no hay comida.
Creo que me salí del tema pero lo tengo que decir. Los Venezolanos queremos un país libre y democrático.
Suerte con el Internet para ambos porque lo necesiamos.
Saludos y Que Dios te Bendiga.

Friend visualize it as an investment that you will see recovered with the excellent work you do, although for the costly it should be a more efficient service, but at least it allows you to work and interact through the network. A big hug.

How much is your internet bill? I live in Canada, in a province with not as much choice and a country that has not as much competition, and my bill is ~$100 CAD for 150MB download speed.

That's a great problem. Now a day world's all things are depend on Internet. Costly internet is not good for a country.In our country if you pay 5 or 6 dollars per month then you will get super fast internet. Here many others share one line by making wifi cause this is enough for 5 people streaming youtube.Then the cost will be more cheap.

It saddens me that Internet is expensive there @cryptopie but you are bound to carry this expenditure for other benefits.

When the companies start competing instead of focusing on easeness for their customers it becomes a mess. They should compete in such a way by offering some free bundles and offers. I hope the new company will be able to provide something impressive and cheaper.

The world needs to reshapen things that were known to the unknown. Things like the basic social amenities, we all know this to be Good roads, Electricity, and Water: but the truth is that in this emerging world of knowledge explosion in the cyber world, the most basic and important social amenity needed is the ***internet***
This has to be made cheap and easily accessible for all, because it's the new source of income. Gone are the days of leaving ones home early every morning to work, gone are the days of depending on food and water to survive. All we need now is an available internet, because with it you could get the world at your fingertips.

this internet is letting you use steemit.
i think it's not expensive!
