I have ktf megapass lite. the bill is tied in with my landline and I think it comes to something like 36 or 38,000 a month. I wasn't sure about the megapass lite at first but it's way faster than either the cable or adsl I had in Canada and I usually get speeds comparable to my t1 connection I had in uni.

Last year I was with KT, 44,000 month.
It should have been cancelled by my old boss last month...actually I'd better check on that.

This year, its free baby!!

I recommend Hanaro. About 33,000. When I signed up for them last year they were offering a free gift to the value of 70,000. Nice... I picked a rice cooker.

I have a card by some guy representing C&M.. he quoted me at 28,000 won/month for Internet service AND cable TV! Shocked

Earlier today though some representative called me on the phone saying I needed to pay the entire cable part for a year in advance at 91,000 before he could give me this deal though. I never quite figured that out though. Shocked

Tiger --

I don't know which ISP to recommend. But dude, you're posting up a tsunami these days! Surprised Dozens of threads and questions flying all over the boards.

You're getting settled into a new job & digs, so take a day off from Dave's and draw up a list of all your questions. Wait another day, and then post the ones you haven't figured out on your own. Put them in a single thread entitled something like, "Tiger Wants To Know...", number them, and we can try to answer them in order, 1, 2, 3.

Seriously, your "how do I hook up my washer?" thread... That's not even a "newbie to Korea" question -- that's a "newbie to life away from mum's apron strings" question, isn't it? Come on, for someone who's travelled and lived all over the world, hooking up a washer is child's play -- hire the handyman! Cool

All of these are useful questions for future reference.. so I can't combine them!

I like Tiger Beer's questions. They will be a useful part of the site search for future newbies like me.

I like all these questions, even if they have nothing to do with me. I edit them and put them up on the Korea Wiki.
My internet is free too. 100mbps.
