I'm getting my connection tomorrow but the charges seem exceptionally high compared to my connection in Yongin last year. What is normal here?

Mine's wireless. I just got the connection this morning. It's 47,000 I believe. Since I had my supervisor arrange it I was kept in the dark about anything that might be termed an "option". Apparently this was the only connection I could get. Right. Rolling Eyes

Thrunet, 30,000/mo., no cable channels included

Installed November, 2002, we got the first three months gratis when we signed the 3-year contract. Not sure if we paid an installation fee or not.

Signed a 2 year contracty this morning - 33,000 in gangnam for cable and line internet.

One year wiould be 53,000 a month, but if you break before the 2 years, you just pay a one off payment of 50,000.
