Anyone good with Maths?
« on: 24 July 2012, 17:35 »
right... scenario is, where i live we have an internet provider that charges the following fixed fee:

1 Month - £25.53

1 Year - £183.83

Now im guessing that most people pay monthly, so how much interest is everyone paying if they pay Monthly compared to paying Yearly (£122.53 difference)?

Also the forumla would help  :smiley:

Thanks in advance

looks like a 39.99% increase, just did it on the monthly but should be the same over the year, been a few years since i had to use proper maths and not just add up and subtract  :laugh:

1 Month - £25.53

1 Year - £183.83

Now im guessing that most people pay monthly, so how much interest is everyone paying if they pay Monthly compared to paying Yearly (£122.53 difference)?


Or look at it like this:
1yr is £183.83 / 12 = £15.32 per month.

So if you pay per month, then you're paying £10.21 more each month. Or £122.52 more per year.
Either way it looks like you pay more if you pay monthly.

If you paid the £183 on a credit card with 17% interest rate, the interest on that would be £31.25 per month. So as long as you paid it off in less than 4 months, you'd still be saving month.
(183/100 = 1.83 x 17 = £31.2511)

Is this for residential/consumer internet provision or business internet provision?
If you're talking about proper business connections, then you pay a higher rate for a better contention ratio (fewer people splitting the data bandwith), fixed IP address (for hosting domains and servers), better support and services level and so on.
