£25.50/month for 35mbps UK - we have a standard practice here for services/utilities where long time loyal users are constantly abused on prices and only new users get discount.
Got a tip for us?

For 29,99€/Month I get 15Mbps (that's what I just tested) here in France. It's one of the cheapest.Can have fibre soon ,but they will charge me 35 €/month, tho as I'm a long time customer they would offer me the installation and router change free of charge (49€ fee) ... how kind.
Isn't such things declared in your service agreement?
As for me - always preferring own hardware. LONG LIVE OPENWRT!!!
It is 22Mbps officially.Isn't such things declared in your service agreement?

Here all big operators (Orange, free, SFR...) provides their own "boxes" (routers) , it is part of the subscription.
Just how do you live with such... "speeds"...
Our provider issues for rent router too, but Idon't remember how it looks like& what model it is, cancelled this unconfigurable box from the very beginning.
~$150 a month. That's Gigabit speeds, plus $50 for unlimited data. I work from home, plus I backup a bunch of Macs to Dropbox. My ISP's data cap is 1TB and I've blown that out several months now. Without paying the extra for UD, it would have been very expensive.
Of course, I could downgrade and pay only about $29 a month but that would seriously restrict my data use. There are also three other people in the house using multiple devices.
All together, I pay ~$360 a month for internet, cable TV and VOIP phone. The VOIP I took only because I get a $60 discount on the package my ISP offers. I could go to another plan though and save $60 while keeping my UD and speed. But then my wife would complain because the savings would decimate the amount of TV channels we have.
Our total price includes a DVR and a second unit that lets us view anything on the DVR. This however, is why I own my own router and used to own my own cable modem. However, we don't pay for the cable modem we have now for some reason. It was given to us by a tech before it was actually offered to regular customers so I guess it never got into the system. Otherwise, I'd go get my own cable modem.

This is why I started making CCC backups, a weekly and a daily. Daily goes to my NAS and weekly goes to the Dropbox folder on my Mac Pro (and then up to Dropbox).
This has already helped me more than once now in the last year. I'm still trying to work out the important data to copy from secondary drives though and so far that isn't going too well.
I'm on a promotional deal for $50/mo for 400/15, which will almost double sometime next year.
That's what happens when there is only one good ISP in the area and the others are outright non-competitive. Highkey hoping that Starlink goes mainstream before then.

$50/month for 100Mbps. The price also includes Comcast streaming service. I purchased my own modem several years ago so I no longer lease it and therefore have reduced my cost by (I think) $10/month.This is offtopic, but I can't hold my curiosity
Is it some kind of *DSL? Or just your ISP settings?
Btw, my ISP offers VoIP & streaming, TV, movies & so on
. Never had need for all this things & I've canceled ZombieBox (TV) around 10 years ago (m.b. even more, don't remeber correct date ).Guys, your answers really interesting (as for me), keep going
. (BTW, have a nice day-off! Friday evening, yeah!!)
Nope, cable internet. 400 Mbit down, 15 Mbit up (though I usually get around 22 up on good days). I can technically get DSL up here, but the best offering is capped at 15 Mbit and for my purposes that's absolutely unacceptable.Is it some kind of *DSL? Or just your ISP settings?

On topic: note to self, don't sudo mv OS 9 files between volumes you'll break your Classic install. I did this after installing Jag on my Companion to get the de facto best Classic experience and every single OS 9-related file broke. Woops.
Happy for you .
I do use CCC a lot.
But wanted to sync/backup folders from my MBP in 10.15 over the lan to my older Macs with CCC, alas recent version of CCC can’t communicate to the olders Mac OS X 10.4 and 5 over the lan.
Found RsyncOSX recently, works perfect, if more complex to setup. Needs also to setup ssh-keys.
I also used Unison before, but was more buggy on recent Mac OS versions.
I'm using three different versions of CCC. One for 10.4.11 on my server, one for 10.5.8 and 10.6.8 and one for 10.14/10.15. I have each Mac run off their own backup rather than one Mac doing it all. That prevents any particular Mac being tied up 24/7 trying to work through all the drives on the network, particularly when others may be busy. I also set my backups to go off between 12am and 6am. Since all my Macs (all my computers really) are on 24/7 I don't need to worry about wake up.
Finally, my Thinkpad (Windows 7 Ultimate) backs up once a week to Dropbox (on my Mac Pro). I'm using some third party free utility for that and since I don't use my PC much it just backs up weekly.
20+ computers attached, plus multiple iPhones and two iPads. At the time I took this, two kids online for school.
Just tidying up my collection a little bit. Sunflower iMac G4 HDD is coming to it's end I am afraid. CCC'd the system to an SSD. Booted from it, and everything is fine (see the little Power Mac G5 external case in pic 2 and 3). FW400/800 converter and the speed is absolutely reasonably fine. It's got OS X 10.5.8, which is not supported by Apple in this iMac of mine. Can't even remember how it got there, must have been XPostFacto or something similar. But that's probably the most you can put in to it, wouldn't you think?
TenFourFox for this particular PPC flavour works for some sites. Not speedy, but works.Did not manage to get into MacRumours site though. Ok, now I got in. Seems to work ok. Pretty slow though.
And again, sound is just amazing with thoseiMac Apple Pro Speakers. More than you would expect out of those, of that size of an little ball. Played the usual Sosumi stuff again with this too. Need to find some music. I've got some in there I think..
Now how would I proceed with that. It's been a long time since iTunes stuff for me..
ps. you just gotta love that neck.

Mine had the original hard drive which made a series of odd noises at startup, but ran fine after. I doubt it would have lasted a lot longer, so I used SuperDuper to clone it to an SSD, then switched the drives - fiddly because there's not much space inside! But it now boots and runs rather well.
Sadly I don't have the speakers, but mine lives on the coffee table where I use it regularly, and there wouldn't be room for speakers anyway.
These are truly great systems. Beautiful engineering.
