My friend in Taipei just Emailed asking if I thought it was worth it for him to upgrade his service.

Present service:  60 Mbit down, 15 Mbit up for US$31.75/month

Proposed service 100 Mbit down, 20 Mbit up for US$33.33/month

My service:  18 Mbps down, 1.5 Mbps up, $55/month

Do I sense a discrepancy?

I believe the reason for this is the Federal government's intervention by limiting providers to only two cable companies. They may do the same for mobile phones. Hence limiting competition. In countries that have Capitalism, as opposed to our Crony Capitalism, costs will be a lot lower. The last time that I checked a few years ago, South Korea had the lowest Internet provider fees.
