Just read that the swedish isp Bostream are going to offer vdsl.
The speed is going to be 26 Mbit/s both upstream and downstream. One could think that this would cost a fortune. But no it is going to cost 398:- swedish crowns per month and that is approx 51 us dollars.

OMFG, /me installs his own fibre between here and sweeden

I wish the rest of Europe wasn't so far behind as the Netherlands. Here, I'm paying £27 (~$42) / month for 512/256.

And are you sure theres no huge snag? ie no fine print "Monthly transfer cap: 1MB" or something?

Nope. No transfer cap. That is what makes it so perfect.

Hola, That sounds Great... /me kicks his 56k... /me kicks his Telco....

ADSL is new here and they charge R 890 /month which is +- $111 (US). That for 512/256 and with a 3 Gig/month cap.

It sucks bigtime here and not worth the money for that sh.tty deal..

128k would be great for me to be honnest, just shows you what you can be greatfull for...
