Is that all flatrate, with guaranteed speed ?
In Slovakia I can get for cca 45$ monthly 384/64kbit link via DSL
But the speed is not guaranteed all the time.
Or i can get up to 1,5mbit ADSL with guaranteed throughput but
I am charged per data. (both outgoing and incomming)
(with pre prepaid 15gigs) for about 5$/gigabyte (and 5$ any aditional gig)
Fortunately next yaar the monopoly ends and our Telecom (50%owned by Deutche
telecom) must open the market to others.
BTW. we pay 450$ monthly to GTS inc. for our 512kbit line (uplink for a
little WISP).
Furtunately I work at university too, and am sitting at 100mbit fibre.
Cable ops, adsl .... is spreading here and are pushing out the "fascinating
ISDN" that
was advertized as a hot new technology 3 or 4 years ago. I remember the last
as january this year. I heard 6 years ago about big project with our cable
op
but it lacked enough good uplink that days. This summer started finally
some other company known as CHELLO
prices: 768/256 - monthly 67$
512/128 - monthly 48$
I hope it will spread widely as mobile phones did here.
So when there is concurency the prices are as low as 0.3$ per minute in the
peak time
and tariffed per second. And $0.05 per minute nights and weekends.
It is noticable that German telecom is throwing away 20 year old technology
from Germany
and uses it somewhere else ... But people here were not too stupid to widely
use theit old shitty 64kbit ISDN for high prices.
What was the history in US ? (i think it will come here with 2-3 year
latency but...)
I feel the internet boom beginning now here. Many old people who never
used internet find it as a resource of knowledge and entertainment.
Just for fun what happened me:
We were having a talk about our university information system and the
charwoman
came in just when I was asking: "how to join that stupid tables"
And the charwoman mummled: "all is on the web son, all is on the web"
Okay gonna sleep now (11 PM here)
Have a nice day there
