Basically, what mobile phone (or cell phone for you Yanks) are you with?
What broadband operator are you with and what home phone provider do you have?

And also, what do you think of your providers?

Mobile Network

Vodafone Ireland: Good overall, but the texts are 13c (dearest in Ireland) and calls, I don't know what they are. One good thing is 3G and Sky TV on your mobile (thats SkySports, Sky One, MTV, etc.) although the picture quality isn't excellent but is still quite good.
Also, internet is 99c a day for 50MB which is quite good.
Although all this sounds good, I'm going to change network, either O2, TESCO or Meteor.

Phone and Broadband Provider
The cost is okay, about €45 a month for broadband and phone, although the broadband cuts out a lot, so not really value for money.

My mobile phone is with Vodafone Australia, 25c text, 35c connection for calls, i don't know about internet, 3G is awesome here.

My Broadband is with a company called Optus, i pay $56 for 15gig each month, i can't remember the speed, Over all Optus is good, just their customer service SUCKS!!!!

btw, all prices are in AUD

My mobile phone provider is called Vivo. It's the largest mobile phone provider is South America and is owned by Portugal Telecom and Telefónica. They aren't that bad, but I bet that you europeans and north americans have something better.

As I don't use broadband (and I don't want it at all), I'm not going to talk about it.

Virus's nick?
Virgin Mobile: Good overall, but the texts are also pretty steep at 10p as well as other things being pretty expensive, but all i use my phone for is texting.

Again its with Virgin (i'm Richard Brandon's biotch)
[quote=Emmett] about €45 a month for broadband and phone, [/quote]
hmm, I pay £7.50 broadband + £21 for line rental and unlimited evening and weekend calls, thats only €32

Note, here are some conversions:
10p is about 13 euro cents is about 16 US cents is about 20 of Australian cents
£7.50 is about €8.51 is about $12 is about AUD$15
£21 is about €24 is about $33 is about AUD$42
£28.50 is about €32 is about $45 is about AUD$58
£40 is about €45 is about $63 is abou AUD$80
Curse the numerous currencies (and my commitment to displaying them all).

Nope. It just that broadband in Brazil is as worse as dial-up.

Mobile Network
Vodafone AU: I don't use my phone for outgoing data anymore, therefore I use pre-paid and spend $20 to $30 a year. SMS=25cents/Calls 25cent connection (0.5cent per second/thereafter).

I have 3G content, but cannot use it anymore. As a glitch in my handset causes Vodafone to charge me for using these free services. I used to have SkyTV and tones of other great stuff, I think there was about 6 channels.

Also, internet costs $1 for 5 minutes.
Or, 15cents per 100kb (or something similar)
It's pretty bad (mobile internet) here with all companies.
