You can get 100Mbit/100Mbit in Sweden. In some places you can get 1Gbit/1Gbit. I pay 20 dollars a week for 8Mbit/1Mbit. If you live near the telestations you can get 100Mbit for 30-50 dollars i think.

Yay! Living in NY is finally going to pay off. Maybe I’ll dump my Optimum Online 20Mbit/2Mbit connection for FIOS.

I have the very best plan I could find when I moved to Australia.

It is a 1.5Mb Download and 256K Upload, with unlimited data (only company in Australia I could find – Dodo) for the princely sum of $99AUD (about $90 USD) per month.

The connection is crap, I usually download torrents at about 10-20kb max..

@slow

Well, how are companies in those countries able to provide such speeds but your country isn’t?

Alex, you don’t get it, do you? For most countries, speeds people are posting here are the best thing we can get! =/
Not only in our ISPs, but in the whole country… US, Japan and Scandinavia are exceptions, not the rule. Even there, it’s not everywhere.

I live six blocks down the road from Microsoft Redmond campus, and Verizon FIOS is still not available here.

WTF???

All of you people complaining about your speeds whould STFU until you start paying more for the top speed your ISP provides.

If you are going to be cheap and buy a slow package, then you are getting what you pay for. Enjoy your slow speeds and your pocket full of money.

You can run a website, just not on port 80. I tested it just to make sure. They only block that port, and smtp ports. Everything else is open.
