My DSL connection costs 74PLN a month. I live in a village so it may be cheaper in the larger towns and cities.

Note that depending on where you live there might not even be DSL available. I have got 512kb/s and can't upgrade because that's the fastest they can give me given the quality of the phone line to my house.

There was a thing on the news recently about how some places don't have any access at all - including a street ironically named "internet street".

I've got a 20Mb fibre optics internet provider pretty close to my place and it's around 60zł

Wow! Compared to Houston, here in the US, you guys have a privileged internet service.
I pay 59 US$ for Internet service a month. This is because I connect using the broadband antenna from a cell phone company. Only because it allows me to connect with my laptop from anywhere in the city. But it is not unlimited. (Only 5 Gb per month).
I wanted to switch to a regular hi-speed service, which is (the cheapest one) 40$ a month. Plus taxes.
I am glad that in Poland, the internet is faster and cheaper... This is going to be great!. I might be going to Poland for a while and I needed Internet for sure.
Thanks for your responses.

naah.. I don't think that it's faster, but things are changing slowly those fibre optics internet providers are secluded cases in bigger cities - and even with that they are not available on every street. The most popular type of connection is a 1Mbit adsl with a crappy upload. Internet providers based on mobile phones celluar networks just started off - it's a pretty fresh technology here..

But be careful of Play Mobile (sometimes PlayOnline) - they have frequent system problems, like today when customers can't top up their accounts, and their customer service department can only be called macabre.
