    U kidding? Here in India I pay 50$ for 2/0.5 (Uncapped) mbps connection with no additional perks with service that says use it while you can bcoz you never know if its gonna work next min or not
    Here if you want fast Internet the only way is to keep failing in Govt University as they are only place where something above 10mbps exist.

    If we're fighting to see who has the worst connection, I once met someone paying around 100 dollars for a 256Kbit line. Yes, a quarter of a megabit. And I think they didn't even give him a routable IP.

    Sadly, infrastructure isn't developed equally across the globe.

    Large improvements here over the last year or two. Now I only pay around $100 (a little less maybe) for 20/1MBit ADSL (uncapped). Used to be 2/0.5MBit (uncapped) for around $160 two years ago. Faroe Islands BTW
