Am i reading this right?

Â£40 a month for Broadband?

This is in the states right? I was under the impression that everything over there was astonishing when it came to the internet, free upgrades, prices falling and they even threw in a Columbian master coffee maker for a month as an incentive to stay with their company?

What speed would that Â£40 a month get you out of interest?

LOL, I don't know where you go to college, but my son also has 'free' access, except I'm paying roughly $7,500.00 every six months + room &board for that privilege

USA is a pretty large landmass and there are rural and just less dense populated spots. Options aren't unlimited everywhere. When a company finally invests to bring something, prices go up.

I can confirm that. My in-laws live in Corona, New Mexico, population 208, primary industry: pinto bean farming. Last year, the town voted to NOT get cable TV & internet extended into town, because the cable company wanted to charge $400 per household for the privilege of digging up their streets.

Oh, and $50 per month for 'basic' service.

So they chug along at about 44Kbps on dial-up.

yeah, My Grandma Pays $52 just for "Basic" Cable TV. I got Basic and Digtinal Cable, so my dad pays like 80 or so bucks a month,plus any Wrestling Pay Per Views I order,so his bills comes around 120-140, only 80 if you take out the Pay-Per-View
