Because their DSL service sucks, we had to have come out to fix something, and they saw the set up (which we left assebled because we had no idea it was a problem).

I see. That sucks, Dave.

Not that expensive.

[Urban Ranger]

You can get business broadband here with that kind of money.

Down/Up: 1.5M/128k
ADSL infrastructure+ISP: ~20€

Oh, and obviously, unlimited

Hey, those prices are quite good, it seems!

8 Kilobytes / second , unlimited data transfer , no time limits , the company provides the router themselves at no extra charge , 30 $ per month .

This is great , considering that I live in India .

$29.95/mo (down to $19.95 if you use/pay for the right phone services), 1.5mbps, unlimited, 256k upload. Some web space and email space, gigabytes, not used so not sure how many.

Nice cheap USA dsl ... (Socialist internet someday ... someday ... )

Truth is, I deserve mora bang for my buck. For example, in Deutschland DT which owns our national operator is giving 1024/512 flat rate for 15€/month! So, the same company is charging Germans (who are three times richer then we are) half the price they charge us

That's a bit of an urban legend I guess. First off, it's not 1024/512 but 1024/128; not that the upload speed would make much of a difference, though. And second, the 15€/month does not include the DSL addition to the phone line subscription either. While I agree, that it is somewhat cheaper in Germany, it's not in the degree you describe.

Maybe, but my ISP has a very leading and innovative nature. Instead of being the price-fighter, like any other ISP over here, they aim for product leadership to acquire and maintain clientele

Zop: I'd rather have all 1.5 Mpbs all the time than laggy 1.5Mbps for half the time for 10 dollars less.

[Adagio]

That's cheap internet you people get, I'm paying 67€/month for a 1.5/512, but at least there's no usage limit and I'm not required to have some expensive phone line subscription
For some time there has been a lot of talk about the high prices, but the company who owns all the lines don't want to make it cheaper for other ISPs to rent it. Now they have finally gotten some official people to take a look at the situation, which hopefully will get the prices down, but because these guys have other matters* to attend they wont look at this for at least a year

* At the moment 'power companies' (?) all around DK has started to get into the Internet bussiness. These guys jobs are AFAIK to check it out if they should be stopped or not. In about 3-4 months (if everything goes as planned) this will make it possible for me to get a 2.3/2.3 Internet connection by them for almost the same price

€ 47.95 for 5 mbit down, 600 kbit up. No traffic limits. 5 email adresses. 50 MB webspace.

Paul has the sweetest deal I've seen, so far.

[Zopperoni]

Did you go back to @Home, Paul?
