Smokey

I have a one Mb connection,
I really cannot afford something faster.
I love: Mecha Musume, OS-tan, Furry Girls.

Well 1Mb is fast enough for general surfing, and even DLing, i even managed to play online games on a (well a bit faster) 2Mb connection...
20Mb or 10Mb is just an unneccesary luxury for most people...

European bandwidth is really wide.....
how much it cost for a month?

in my country, to get 1Mb bandwidth with isdn connection, you need about $1000 a month?

such a huge money! ;014

What's in your hand, back at me. I have it, it's an oyster with two figures of your favorite Touhou characters. Look again, the figures are now vials of the Hourai Elixir. Anything is possible when your waifu smells like Old World and not a man. I'm a frog.

It's about â,¬50,- (~$65) a month, including digital television and telephone connection...

But a 2-4Mb/s starts from â,¬10-â,¬20,- (~$13-$26) a month...

And Cockleshell i don't think that's a "crappy" connection, 4Mb/s is good...

Keep in mind, there are probably quite a few people on OSC at their university, and those connections can be outrageously fast (you'd be surprised what one can afford with gov't grants and all that tuition money;)).  Also many people here are probably living in higher residential areas where one often finds much improved options for internet access.  All in all, what I'm saying is that many of these people have much more bandwidth than they would probably ever need :P.  I'd say 4MB broadband is nothing to sneeze at, the college I used to attend had a much faster connection, but compare 4MB/s to this:



Believe it or not, that's not bad for someone living in a rural area.  Even in the U.S., it's pretty uncommon for rural folk to have any form of internet connection outside of dial-up or satellite (eww, expensive and unreliable, DO NOT WANT).  In this case we're talking the base package for an ADSL connection (which is what I still consider the "po' man's internet"), still I'm quite happy with this, beats the piss outta the alternatives here.

btw.  Smokey those rates are really impressive, wish something like that was available where I live.

meh, like i said 20Mb/s or higher is only neccesary when you're hosting LAN-parties or are gaming online with, say, 4 or so people...

Sweden as a nation has the 2nd or 3rd highest avg bandwidth in the world, but still...
My cousin lives in the middle of nowhere - the ABSOLUTE middle of nowhere, really, I mean it, only wolves around and the nearest house is like 10k away - and they pay some 15$/month for a stable 4down/0,5up connection.


A bit more centralized am I, so I've got a 100/10 connection for some 30$/month.

Sweet life.
YOU COULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS
