Interesting
I'm still waiting for Broadband over Power Lines. They trialed it (are trialing it, take your pick!) somewhere in the country.
For now, I just have to settle for a crappy 256/1024 bit connection from AOL at £35, aka $50, per month.
BT aren't much better service-wise either

Thats not bad. I'm in the US and I pay ~$44 a month to have 512kbps so you dudes in europe bitching about your 3Mbps don't have anything to complain about.
Also broadband in Japan should be cheaper than the US (don't know about you european dudes) because of the much smaller land mass to have to deal with putting DSL access areas at.

I'm in the US as well at $35/mo for 256/256 and in some areas my cable company offers 512/512 for $45/mo but not quite far enough for me to get it.
BTW, we had a thread about bandwidth once, but I'm not going to look for it right now. Also, wasn't this thread originally about something else? Or was this the intention?

I posted under intersting links. I posted it also on an electronic music forum that has an interesting mix of nationalities and many folks were complaining about the their slow connections so I thought I'd try it on the friendly Techspot folks.
I have cable at ~$50 a month and adverage 300-400k/s. My total cable bill is $115 a month and I dont even have all the channels. I do have HD finally though.

This is the broadband thread I mentioned earlier. I figured I'd direct you to it since it seems no one can use the search function.
