Poll: How much do you spend for your Internet?

Ok, new poll again. Just wondering how much do people spend for their internet connectivity on a monthly basis?

Options include:

* Almost free — if you get it from school or office or something similar
* Less than Php500 a month — mostly if you’re using prepaid dial-up
* Less than Php1,000 a month – for entry level broadband connections
* Between Php1,000 to Php2,000 a month — for mid level DSL connections, mobile broadband (Visibility, WeRoam)
* Between Php2,000 to Php3,000 a month – for mid level broadband or multiple connections
* Between Php3,000 to Php5,000 a month – for top tier broadband, multiple connections or mobile internet
* Above Php5,000 – either you gotta you got a leased line or you’re spending way too much on internet connectivity

If you’re sharing the internet cost with someone else in your place who also uses it, only indicate your own shared expenses. Likewise, if you have multiple connections (2 DSL plus WiFi plus 3G), just add them all up. If you use prepaid mobile internet like Smart 3G/GPRS, just make an educated guess how you you spent for it every month.

      I have multiple connections. Smart Bro- for Lauren which is 995, PLDT for my main work station (with landline 752 kbps) at 1500 something, Globeline Broadband for me and my other daughter (with landline at 1 MBps) at 1500 something . I have to go to Globe to reduce the cost because it’s now 1295. a total of almost 4 thousand
