international dsl rates

[disciple]

over on dslreports.com's forums, there's an informal comparison of DSL rates

http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12374073~days=9999   

with the highest being South Africa ( 113 USD for 512k )..
a couple Caribbean prices are quoted, and of course, as expected, TT gettin the shaft..

that said , it could be worse; apparently there are download caps for some services ..
wtf?

[Narcissus]

what we payin abt $50US for 256k...not as bad as some of the others...buh wda goin on in south africa jed? dat is madness

[Czar]

Yeah, South Africa under some pressah dey...but TSTT still ridiculous no arse...almost US$55 for a stinkin 256kbit line...tho some lucky individuals get 512kbit for the same price...

I pay about US$28 for a 5mbit line here in Calgary (Canada)...

[greyfox]

$15 FOR 150 K, THAT'S BASICALLY ALL THE SPEED I NEED!!!!!!!!.  the higher speeds only mean you could download a bootleg faster than before

[Trinitus]

Man what i need is Cable Internet, i like speed, and once it not too expensive, that even better, but grey, isnt cable pretty decently priced in your region?

[greyfox]

$35- 50 depending on the company. but i mean dsl is good enough for me man. i guess if u really into pc gaming with patches and new packs and other stuff like that cable is better

[disciple]

hmm..

wha i really would liek to get is ADSL2.. man have all kinda 24Mbit+  pipe in dey house... direct to craw... NORMAL..

http://www.internode.on.net/adsl2/graph/index.htm      some places in europe have it, and australia

[Trinitus]

Yeah boy Disciple, dat really looking nice, get dat yuh need nothing else, only thing is how de hell yuh go pay fuh dat?

[disciple]

lol. indeed..

is australia... the adsl2+ service 24000k/1000k , is about 119 AUS, ( 1US = 1.39 AUS)

now, i doh know what the cost of living like in australia, but i will go out on a limb here , and say that the price sounds affordable

( cuz we have people down here who does rock  phone bills of a grand plus, even tho things tough)
 
but is pure speculation on my part

[Trinitus]

Dem SPeeds On like boil corn, and ummm *clears throat* (runs out of words to describe it)
