So what does internet run you per month these days? How about cable?

p/m? What do you mean phone and internet?

ADSL lite (perfectly adequate) from KT costs around 20,000 KRW pm. So my combined phone/ADSL cost is less than 40,000 KRW p/m. Very cheap. And very rarely does it fall over - maybe 3 times in 5 years.

Thanks, just trying to figure out how much I will have to budget for this... in the meantime, how about cable prices?

The Hanaro company is doing a promotion at the moment. Internet and phone for 32,000.

Plus you can choose a free gift to the value of 70,000!!! I got a nice little blue rice cooker....

i went for the mid range megapass since I download a lot. Costs me with my phone bill around 60k/month. Service is great with very few problems. In March I will sign a one year contract with them and drop the costs down a bit.

This place blows the US away when it comes to cheap high quality high speed net service. I dread the day when I have to go back there and rely on SBC etc

some buildings its free or part of the maintence fee. I didn't pay for cable and my g/friend didn't at her place, just part of the rent.

I had cable with Thrunet in Ulsan, 27,000won per month. Great service. I have ADSL now and it's also reasonably good. Smile

KT VDSL = 22,000 a month. If you don't sign up for two years, it's about twice as much. Even if you know you're going to cancel after one year, sign up for two.

Skylife satalite runs about 18,000/month. We get the full package (well, everything but the porn channels, which is fine) and it's 24,000/month. I know it's not "cable" but it's also something worth looking into.

We use KT for the Internet and pay about 40,000/month for that.
