£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 £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

Here in Sweden Broadband isn´t that expensive. I pay less than 20$ for mine. Never a hassle and lightningfast. The cool thing is that I get it through the electrical grid net. Who could have imagined that 15 years ago?

we pay on avarage £15 - £25 per month. for bradband around here.

Equates to aporx $30-$50
So Its the same price In general.
but americans should have more spare cash than we do.
Due to cheap fule. Food. Electronics. Excetera.
Meaning on avarage they spend Less Per month than we do so can generaly afoard more,
Although Prices equate to the same.

Cost of living in uk is aproximatly 4x that of the usa.

I.e
A box of cigaretts here 20 cigaretts costs aproximatly £4-£5
$8-$10
A leeter of petrol here is More than £1.00
$2.
A leeter is 0.2200 of a gallon

You guys should count your self lucky.

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.

[Just A Girl]

Link me to the file.
Il download it.
And split it in to 5 20mb parts.
ETA
2hours. per part With 56k Modem.

Il post a link here when ive done it.

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

(At the mere thought everything is cheaper in the States) As far as prices go everything is relative. I live in Maryland so I'm getting taxed to death on top of higher prices. My local cable company is a monopoly which is sad because we're right outside of Baltimore, suburbia not country. Cable Modem would be $67/month on top of the $54/month for basic cable. Sorry but I just can't afford it. I work 2 jobs just to be able to pay my mum's medical bills. Anyhow, enough of that. I did succeed in downloading the Lite version of XL (minus the music) and I've been playing it. It definately is a big change from vanilla MTW+VI. I especially like the new units. I'm like a kid in a candy shop I can't make up my mind what to build next.
