$15/mo

This works for me.

(Tough to break out the price because it's bundled with phone and cable service, but they have a lot of deals)

I have no idea what it means, and I don't know what I'm paying because it's included in my rent.

Pretty slow, $60 pcm, 150gig download

Mine just says, "Please connect to the Internet".

I'm on satellite broadband.

I can't wait for the national broadband network to hit our suburb, this is what they are getting locally.

Well every page you view on the net is something you download So faster download faster browsing. Question really is how fast is fast enough

Broadband speeds are like penile measurments.

I apologize for my strange behavior.

When I went back and re-read what I had written I realized there was no way anyone could give the real answer that I was looking for - which is 'What internet speed is good for me?'

I should have just stopped posting and left things as they were.

Buy whatever DSL is cheapest and then pay for incrementally faster connections until you don't care anymore. Once the connection is fast enough that you don't care its a waste of money to pay for more.
