Swedish firm to offer 100Mbit/s broadband for £70/month


A SWEDISH SUPPLIER will introduce an amazing 100Mbit/sec broadband connection for 895 kroner in April next year. That's about £70 a month, and that speed is in both directions. Bredbandsbolaget will cap downloads to 300GB as part of the service it's offering.

Right now, Bredbandsbolaget is offering bi-directional 10MB connections for 330 kroner a month without limits on the download. That's round about the average price for 512/256 ADSL here in Blightyland. According to the UK ADSL Guide, your £70 will get you 2MB/256K ADSL from a few suppliers. Sheesh! Us Brits are kebabbed!

It's tricky to compare prices internationally. In Sweden not everybody can order a 100 MBit line, in fact it's not more but a tenth of the population that hav that possibility. I believe the prices in Sweden for cableconnections and xDSL-connection are competetive with the rest of the world. Whenit comes to Dial-up-connections they are not as noone has flat rate here.

Here is my connection:

DOWN: 2 MBit
UP: 400 KBit
Tech: Cable
Limited: Speed only, no transfer limit
Price: 23 GBP/40 USD a month

I recently got an offer (xDSL) for 8 MBit down, 800 KBit up priced at 34 GBP a month, I turned it down. There are other faster and cheaper xDSL-techniques here but the area where I live is at the wrong side of the road...

What are your connections?

[italiano]

Mine is 2mb down and 256 kbit up

No caps

It costs me a huge 60 GBP a month

This is the fastest adsl speed you can get for domestic customers
at the moment here!!

Its way to expensive here at the moment unlike my USA friends

Your download speed : 2980598 bps, or 2980 kbps.
A 363.8 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 463821 bps, or 463 kbps.
Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!

That is the connection I'm on right now, I'm home.
