I draw a spreadsheet, trying to see what the prices are between ISPs
ADSL Prices.xlsx

Something interesting...
This is 512 the most expensive?

384 kbps = 0.91 R/kbps
512 kbps = 1.17 R/kbps
1024 kbps = 0.49 R/kbps
4096 kbps = 0.22 R/kbps
 
There is no point comparing prices like that, might be the fastest speed but I can GUARANTEE you that not all services will give you that speed 24/7. I think a R/GB comparison is far more meaningful and OpenWeb has given me a far superior service than any of the others thus far...

+45 / +46 / +45 / +40
Openweb is true value for money.

Just comparing prices is incorrect. With a "best effort" service, ADSL must be rated on 3 legs - Cost / Service / Up time.
 
For me its actually 4 things that I look for. Internet Experience, Uptime, Service and cost.
Cost is the easiest one to put in a table and categorize. The rest are not that easy.
Budget wise, I can push for 512, but not higher. It really becomes to costly for me then.

Internet experiences
Not all service is the same. The problem is how to compare the services. I use lots of RP chat servers and sometimes online gaming. Most of these are not "priority" connection. Each ISP has their own type of prioritizing. I found that even what is use to prioritize impacts your experience.
Thus it's near impossible to see what is best for you.
Uptime
Uptime is also important. I had good uptime with MWeb, except when the under sea cable was faulty. My internet in on 24/7 and only disconnect when I reboot the systems.
Service
I had good service from MWeb, granted I have not phoned them a lot for problems.
