Default dsl or modem?

which one do you have, if it's dsl, please state your speed and the price you pay ( whether it be flat rate or charged by the amount of data transferred )

500kb/s
13 dollars per month plus 3.3 dollars for every 512 mb of data

( oh and by the way, i think it's expensive given our standard of living, they keep trying to tell us we have one of the cheapest internet services in europe, but it's rediculous to compare our rates to west european, it's not even the same ball park )
