I'm moving apartment next weekend, and I want to get a cable/internet package. What packages are you people using? How much is it? Service quality etc.

Cheers

The large majority of cable/internet packages run about 20k-25 won (with the digital TV option) and down to 15k won for the basic cable/internet package

BUT the internet is throttled 512kbps - 2mbps on the downstream and 256-512k on the upstream).

They are fine for basic surfing and web-chat but suck big-time for heavy users.

You will not be able to use torrents (unable to seed) except for public trackers and they fall short when looking at streaming video.

Do any of the ISPs have English speaking service?
