Who Has Fastest, Cheapest Internet in the World?

[Guest]

In western europe (france, UK, Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, etc) the avarage speed for consumer internet is arround 20 - 25 Mbps nowadays, with peaks up to 100Mbps flat (fiber to the home, or doc3 cable internet)
thus even your post is lagging behind the facts 😉 (since it's american based article, you only mention China, but left out the rest of the competition. Not very detailed writing if you ask me)

[citation][nom]Fandogh[/nom]Ok. now Iran!!128kbps with 10GB cap = 30$ a month ( (in capital of course!!)[/citation]


512Kbps for $15 per month.

Not much better than yours 🙁

I have 384Kb/s and 3GB cap.. South Africa FTL!

5Mbps Internet, 50Mbps with inside the provider's national network, no traffic cap, I fixed phone line and one mobile phone line with unlimited conversations in the same network for 9$. And this is the cheapest/dumbest Internet I can buy.

Welcome to Romania

I'm on Cox Cable. They offer several different levels of service. I read the fine print in the contract. It says high speed service if available. Most of the time high speed is not available.

You get 6 KB/s in Indonesia unlimited for IDR 137.000 or $14. Because the MCD in Indonesia is $2 so you can get unlimited HSDPA+ 6 KB/s for 7 MCD a month. Expensive? Please I hope 4G has more higher standard so that we can't to much play with the speed. If not I bet Indonesia will have 4G, 5G, 6G, ... all in 6 KB/s favor 🙁. See it for you self here

this article is EXTREMELY LAME. if the writer had bothered to look on wikipedia.org under "south korea internet" he could see where the country with the greatest internet penetration and speed is. i have absolutely nothing to do with s korea, but they do do internet right. it is considered a right of citizenship there.

Next is Australia with Fibre to the home 100mb/s to every home in Australia. Australias National Broadband network. Wiki it 😉

You do realise that the NBN will not happen in the next 10 years, right? It's a bureaucratic mess that is already years behind schedule.

Here in Uruguay:
2MB downstream 256k up - 60 dollars :^(

Try living in Ontario, Canada super high speed internet = 3mbps you actually get 1.4 mbps for $75 can and it's packet shaped sometimes you can't play some online games because of the poor packet shaping software bell uses during prime time.

[citation][nom]zaam[/nom]That's it. I'm switching to Shaw.[/citation]
Oh sure you'll get 1Gbps.

But you'll still be with the 60GB Bandwidth cap that you'll eat in a minute

 

[zak_mckraken]

I thought my connection was lame, being 5mbps for 45$, but techguy911 wins!

I live in a small town in Iowa and I have 20mb down and 2mb up for $75 a month.

It bothers me greatly that there is not free WiFi hotspots in all of the major US cities. Not only would it be better for the environment, but for learning of the children in the schools around the city as well.

The fact that we, at least here in NYC, at least $60/month for broadband is nothing more than robbing people.

It pisses me off to know that we have the capability to accomplish something, but simply don't because of profits, interests or other ridiculous reasons.

I don't want my neighbors paying my bills just because I want what they have.

In Puerto rico it is also cruel. I pay $25 for 1mb and 5gp down, plus the company forces me to pay a phone connection as a contract($15). There are better, but since I live in the projects Im limited to a phone net connection.

Singapore M1 Mobile Broadband 3G: 1mb down and 512k up with no cap. $9 US. 2mb down and 512k up with no cap. $15 US. 2mb. Downloading from Taiwan Ubuntu 9.10 beta at 9/10 theoretical.

 

[gwolfman]

On a similar note, how would you like to get 1Gbps fiber for just $26? If you live in Hong Kong, that's a reality. Thanks to an offer from City Telecom, those living in Hong Kong can get 1Gbps fiber internet access for just HK$199, which is around US$26.

Objection your Honor: repetition!

 

[cronik93]

You figure internet would be fast enough.

 

[CoryInJapan]

Hmmm speed test dot net says Im running a 20mb connection here in california from comcast.Though I am only paying for 16mb's.

Greetings from Mexico

Residential adsl prices from the local monopoly (Telmex)

1Mb $15 USD
2Mb $32 USD
5Mb $64 USD

All of them unmetered but upload doesn't go faster than 384kbps on the 5Mb one.

 

[mouettus]

that's right! I have plenty of internet speed here (Quebec, Canada). The only thing pissing me off is this 30gb cap and the 50$ fee as soon as you bust a couple of gb's.

That being said: 7.5mbit/820kbit w/ 30gb limit for 50$
