Worldwide Internet Access Speeds
-
Hi, I am curious to hear from you guys in other countries around the world about your internet access speeds and the costs thereof. I am from South Africa and believe me when it comes to speed and affordability...we are living in the dark ages...I think its a result of years and years of our telecoms provider monopoly. Anyway...for an ADSL connection we pay +- USD70.00 for a 512mb download which is also capped at 1gig per month...when you hit the cap, the spead is reverted back to dialup speed...shocking isnt it !!! Cheers, Craig ** I'd rather try and fail than fail to try ;) **
I pay £13 ($22) per month for 2Mb down/ 512k up, no limits, with Telewest and their service has been pretty good. Much better than NTL! The tigress is here :-D

USA - Michigan Cable (Comcast) 8mbps down, 768kbps up $66/month The speed really is there. Especially if I use an app like FlashGet to split downloads into 5-10 connections. Late at night it's not uncommon to get 1.25 MegaBytes/sec.
Found on Bash.org [erno] hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

Italy, with my provider (the other ones offer about the same services at the same prices): ADSL, 32.95 Euro/month with the ZyXEL Prestige 660HW[^] router 4 Mbit/s down, 256 Kbit/s up, no limits. As soon as it will become available, they will upgrade my line at 12 Mbit/s down and 1 Mbit/s up with no extra costs. :) ___________________________________ Tozzi is right: Gaia is getting rid of us.

Denmark. I live on a little island called Bornholm. Here we can max get a 2048/512 kilobit with no limitations for ~ 65$ monthly. Other places in Denmark, you can get faster connections like 10 Mbit/s / 768 Kbit/s for 75$ monthly. Programming is like Mathematics… you take ONE step at the time! ;-)

Here in Mexico, I pay about $55 USD per month for ADSL (1 Mbps down/256 Kbps up).

In Trivandrum, India, the last connection I used was a 256 Kbps line that cost Rs 55,000 bi-monthly - comes to about USD 610/month. Regards, Nish

SA sucks for internet, doesn't it? ;P I was lucky enough to be allowed to hang around my dad's office a lot when we lived there (he worked at SoftNet, an ISP in the Lowveld area) and at the time we had about 256kbit in the office. At home we used dialup and were happy with 2kb/s (we lived on a farm). Nowadays, in the Netherlands, a veritable broadband paradise compared with SA, we pay 30 euros a month for 10mbit down/1mbit up via ADSL2+ (yes, it's capped at 10mbit). We have no data limit (never heard a peep even after heavy downloading, so it seems like not entirely false advertising ;P) and have some useless web space (25mb?) and pop3 boxes we don't use. What's nice is that we also have a fixed IP so I can run a webserver at home. Paul

Is that $610.00, $61.00 or $6.10 per month in USD? I sure hope, not $610 :) Rocky <>< Latest Post: SQL2005 Server Managemnet Studio timeouts! Blog: www.RockyMoore.com/TheCoder/[^]

That is US $ Six Hundred and Ten :-) 610 dollars and 0 cents. Here in Toronto, I pay CAD$ 50 + tax for a 5 Mbps connection. Regards, Nish
