The least expensive monthly subscription for always-on broadband was in Sweden, where $10.79 (£5.40) bought a 256kbps connection. The country with the most expensive entry point for broadband access was Mexico, where it cost $52.36 (£26.18)for 1mbps.

Obviously didn't look at South Africa...

BT (in the UK) has been very slow to switch across (to ADSL2+).

We haven't even started.

A 3gig cap and a 384k line is more than sufficient for government officials to e-mail their prison buddies. Why can't it be enough for you?

They're obviously not looking at caps...

It infuriates me when they don't look at caps. That's like having a car with no petrol.

R366 for a 1Mbit line isnt too bad. And I wonder what Cap those Mexican Chillies are getting... I'm sure we're more expensive. And we still pay for Normal Telephone line charges aswell. Other countries get sweet deals to make them want to buy...
