It's about as slow as a 56k modem. Korea is a hard place to live but I am totally envious of their internet - my friend says he pays about $12 for 100mbs. In Thailand a premium package for a residential user may only be 4mbs and they will pay alot for it. But these numbers are only related to connecting to servers located in Thailand. International servers are a different story! I live in Thailand and pay 500 baht – $15 – for 1 mbs. It’s about as slow as a 56k modem.

I lived in Bangladesh for 4 years and signed up for "broadband". My speeds averaged 39 kbps. Yes, you read that right, that's a "k" after the number. How did poor Bangladesh achieve such stupendous speeds? Give credit to good governance, corruption-free, transparent govt-biz dealings and a real appreciation and understanding of the necessity for workable Internet access. I am kidding, of course, folks! It was rumored that a former communications cabinet minister put his nephew in charge of this "new thing" called the Internet. Apparently, he said "I don't know what this new Internet is, but there's gotta be money in it." You want to change the world and scare governments, benign or cancerous? Give everybody a fast Internet connection and no censorship. Read and weep, or laugh. I lived in Bangladesh for 4 years and signed up for “broadband”. My speeds averaged 39 kbps.

Australia is starting to catch up but will always be a while behind the rest of the world. a lot of people in other countries still dont even know where australia is. But if you walked down the street in a city here in Australia and asked someone where France is for example, they wouldn't be able to tell you. Telstra needs to be shut down for a price war to actually happen here in australia. In my area you can only get adsl+2 through telstra as telstra wont rent the lines to smaller companies to keep control of the pricing.
