    Had a discussion with my wife that claimed, as usual, that everything is so much cheaper everywhere else. So I thought I need to find out how the reality looks like, as opposed to the best case that she read about. So my questions are: What type and speed of internet do you have? How much does it cost? Where do you live? (City, suburbia, small town or countryside) I'm having 100Mb fiber that costs approx. $30/month and I live in a suburb.

        I have 16 Mb for 15€ living in a small city in the center of a circle with very important cities. I know it is not the best deal though (old contract taken with us 2 times), looking for alternatives right now. EDIT: I just had a look... My option is not even listed anymore. 30€ = 32 Mb 35€ = 100 Mb 45€ = 400 Mb

        M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

            Town of 8000, 100km from Sydney CBD. Nominal 50Mbps, measured 35-45. About 300m of copper to the fibre node. Bundled with landline phone, $A70/mo, about USD50 at the going rate. [edit] And a monthly "limit" of 1TB. That's well over 250 hours of HD streaming. I don't even get close. [/edit]

              60Mb down about 5 up Small city (aprox 8000 people) Copper wire (even tho they say it's fiber ...) to the node and then fiber no download limit (yes those still exist over here) About 60us$ a month I can get a better deal but still have to look into it.

                In Netherlands I live in a city I have ADSL which is around 2.5 MBps download and 300 KBps upload (Big B = Byte, not bit, multiply by 8 for bits). Unfortunately, for Netherlands the ISP does not matter, it is the government who owns the line (ISP only rent it), so no alternative. The price is around €30. In my parents place in a small village in Bulgaria we have coaxial cable above ground. I get 4-10 MBps download and 1-8 MBps upload (no hard limits, depends on the usage, but usually it is above average). The network is really prone to breaking due to thunderstorms, but it is super fast. The price is 32лв. (~€16) and includes cable TV. It is amazing what lack of regulations can do for the internet (if you do not care there are cables everywhere outside).

                  In a city in New Zealand (150k people) pay nz$73 (~ us$45) for unlimited data fibre. Different plans have different speeds from 30mb to 1G for us$60

                      France, countryside, 8-10Mbps ADSL, 39€/month (but it is triple-play, so with TV, phone, and reductions on mobiles, etc...). Fiber is around 60 to 70€ for 100Mbps, but still not deployed in the countryside.

                              VDSL2 50 MBit/s up, 10 MBit/s down, no limit at 45,00 € including phone (free calls within Germany), .DE domain, extended email services 100 / 40 MBit/s would be 10,00 € more Small town (pop. 10k) Fibre is on planning stage here. Expected costs are about 50,00 € for the lowest speed which might be 100 or 250 MBit/s then.

                                  200 MB download / 20 MB upload + TV (combi package) is €63,50 where I live in the Netherlands. We do have a choice though, for example, KPN has roughly the same price for half those MB's.

So I thought I need to find out how the reality looks like, as opposed to the best case that she read about. So my questions are: What type and speed of internet do you have? How much does it cost? Where do you live? (City, suburbia, small town or countryside) I'm having 100Mb fiber that costs approx. $30/month and I live in a suburb.

                                      I pay British Telecom £10 a month to rent the line even though I don't use it for phone calls I pay Sky £20 a month to provide broadband Then Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey and google decide what content I can see for free.

                                        Had a discussion with my wife that claimed, as usual, that everything is so much cheaper everywhere else.

                                        $40/month for 16mb (but I only get a bit less than 5mb because of crappy Telekom lines which they will fix Real Soon Now. It has been Real Soon Now since May of '17). Esslingen, Germany

                                          Funny, I always thought you were based in the US. Sounds seriously overpriced.
