Hey everyone,

I'm gonna be heading over to SK at the end of the month. Just wondering in regards to internet, what is the price range? I know about basic internet (that's all the info I can find) but does anyone have any of the premium packages, specifically unlimited downloading??? How much of a dent would this be in my paycheck?

I don't think you can get a package in Korea that doesn't have unlimited downloading. Expect to pay 30-40,000 a month for faster Internet than you have in your home country.

cheap fast internet is one of the perks of SK

one of the better service aspects which blow so many American companies out of the water - you'll receive a business card of your local service tek person who you can call if you ever experience an outage, modem failure, etc.

I pay 35 for internet, digital cable, and phone. Mine's Hello D, but I think they're all similar.

If you JUST want internet, it's cheap. Most of the special packages are for getting other stuff along with the internet. TV and phone are the most common. You can also get other stuff, like USB mobile modem, a special VOIP phone that you can use in other countries, a portable wifi device (the wifi egg).

If you have a smart phone, you can also get data plans on that and tether it to your computer.

But really, if you're only concern is downloading some TV shows and movies, then you can get by with the cheapest possible internet connection and it will still be a LOT better than anything available back home. Like others have said, I've never heard of a home internet connection that had a data limit. (On cell phones there are limited data plans.)

Amazing. Thanks for the info guys...exactly what I wanted to know...can't believe I'm still paying what I'm paying for basic internet here in Canada...
