Just signed up for high-speed internet at my apartment, but the price I'm getting seems a little high -- 39,000 per month. Is this average? Not sure if I'm getting the best price since my director (a nice guy) handled the transaction and he may not have known exactly what to order. So what do others here pay? Am I getting screwed?

Depends on what your bandwidth is. $30 a month isn't out of line for a fat pipe, and truthfully it's not out of line for a relatively skinnier one either. No, I'd say that you're not being screwed.

thrunet has two prices. I had the expensive one and then swtiched to thrunet light. I think I pay 33,000. I haven't noticed a difference in speed or anything.

Avoid Megapass, a.k.a megasucks at all cost.

In Seoul, my Internet is 32,000. In Pohang, it was 30,000. Try getting a couple of different quotes if you don't want to pay the extra 6 or 7 thou each month. Maybe you boss is skimming off the top... ???
