In Germany, basically one "flatrate" for home users is left, and it's
only for ADSL. It's $30 dollars/month. But the normal connection method
for most people is dialup modem/ISDN connections for 2 - 4 pfennige
(approx. 1 - 2 cents) a minute, some ISPs have extra monthly charges
with "free hours" combinations. There are horribly expensive flatrates
for business users and rich home users for like $90/month. Most flatrate
ISPs died last year due to high costs they had to pay to the
monopolistic German telekom (which still owns the so-called "last mile"
to the end user).
