    I am paying 10 pounds a month for 17Mbps ADSL, and 17.99 pounds for landline.

    And I am soon upgrading to a 76Mbps/19Mbps package for 25 pounds a month with a 17.00 pounds line rental for altogether 42 pounds a month. Also I get the 50 pounds router for free with a low 25 pound activation fee, Virgin is about 50 and BT is about 30 for activation. The ISP is Zen. And it's unlimited :nerd:.

    Yeah, it sucks we have to pay such a high price for such a slow speed.

    My brother has a 20mb internet connection and gets a MAXIMUM of 1.5-2mb/s download speed!!!

    Lol, poor biggie, such a high price for such a slow and $hitty connection.

    Well, if I were in your place, and if there is no other option, and IF I'd have the money, then yes I'd probably pay that... even though it's pretty damn insane.

    Anyway, I pay ~$13 per month for this:

    With Cablevision in New Jersey I pay $40 a month for 50/Mb gauranteed down and 25/Mb up. I've seen speeds as high as 100Mb/sec though so it's pretty damn good. I believe Optimum which is Cablevision was rated 2nd behind Google Fibre for price/performance though so....

    I don't have any server near my city in speedtest, maybe the ping would be smaller then? Oh well. :p

    That is really expensive

    I guess I am pretty lucky, for 10 euros I get 1000Mbps download in metro area, 200Mbps download international and 100Mbps upload.

    Move to Romania, at least the Internet is cheap.

    I wonder how they can give it away for such a low price. And why it's so damn expensive in Germany and Austria as it seems.
