It sounds high priced after reading all this posts but here in Finland it's cheap price. 100/100 is becoming pretty usual speed here in southern Finland as it has become available from all the main ISPs but the optic fiber network aint so spread yet. There has been some studies to get 100/100 from the basic powerlines here. As it comes to wireless networks, we have HSDPA networks which makes it possible to have 2mbit broadband. Theres atleast two other wireless networks on the making, one which I got to test through my girlfriends dad who works at one electric reading company, that one had 1mbit adsl (most likely the lowest speed) from anywhere through this box which was connected to usb port (i heard there was version which was connected to laptop expresscard slot). And at my army time I was at finlands network study center where i got LAN course (i was sergeant) and our course leader told about this wireless network which was in the making and when ready should have pretty high speeds and very good connectivity (talking about our lapland where you are lucky if u have even phonelines) im from finland and here our government has a plan to have high speed broadband connections available to anyone (meaning 10/10, 100/100) in 2010 (or 2012, cant remember).

And since you like comparisons: Sweden GDP (2006 Estimate): $384,388 M USA GDP (2007 estimate:) $13,675,129 M Sweden population density: 20/km2 New York population density: 155.18/km2 @klark kent (#13), uhm … where did I compare Sweden’s population to the US’s?

Average user watches maybe a couple YouTube videos a day at most and still pays premium for no reason. Broadband as a whole is useless unless you're a pirate or an anime fan and they're trying hard to get rid of the pirates Then the companies have the nerve to complain how some users actually use bandwidth and threaten to charge them more for it Worthless study Only reason anyone is pushing broadband is the higher usage fee.

You also have to dig deep to find out a company's contention ratio. I only get about 5meg max, and a crappy 1/4 meg upload. No one has high speed fibre optic here, except big business... UK sucks.... =( In the UK, most people have a ‘theoretical’ maximum of 8meg DSL lines, and for these you pay £25+ ($50+).

I pay $57 a month for 12/1 service (Cox cable). Sometimes it's faster, sometimes slower. I used to use torrents a lot before I discovered Rapidshare and Orbit download manager. I wouldn't mind paying less, but overall I'm please with the speed in which I can steal movies, software, etc. I actually live in Orange County, CA. I pay $57 a month for 12/1 service (Cox cable).

As already said, most households here in Sweden can 24Mbs via DSL. 100Mbs is of course only available through direct wire in some residences, like students' areas. What do you mean with broadband?
