Damn 30$ discount. How much do you pay in the states for broadband access. I pay about 40$ each month for a 500/500 connection.

    In a city a connection like that is probably going to be in the area of $60 to $100. I pay $80 all in for a similar fiber connection.

    Outside of a city you just aren't going to get it.

    There are a few places that have Community ISPs where it will be substantially less expensive, but those are the exceptions and many states have actually made it illegal to operate community ISPs.

    That goes for about $70 here, in a competitive, urban market. $50 for 300.

    paying almost $90 now, here, for supposedly 300mbps (downstream) that barely ever gets past 60. there are people near me that pay about the same for 1mbps or less dsl (just outside of cable's territory, so dsl is all they have)

    I pay $100 a month in a rural area for 12down/500kup by bridging two DSL connections, the only thing I can get in the woods. I can't watch Hulu and browse the Internet at the same time.
