when i was on Vacation(my 2nd country: Poland):
What's funny is that i could go faster, but my 100/100mbps modem bottlenecks it
but now back to my country(Lebanon):
my "256kbps/64kbps" so called "ADSL" service(which was introduced here 3 years ago)
$34/month
Monthly download limit of 3GB ONLY!!! and each Extra GB Downloaded = $10 Extra on Bill
look what they provide:
128kbps/32kbps - $24/month with 2GB/2GB Limit!
256kbps/64kbps - $34/month with 3GB/3GB Limit!
512kbps/128kbps -$47/month with 4GB/4GB Limit!
1024kbps/256kbps-$77/month with 5GB/5GB Limit!
and get this
2.3Mbps/2.3Mbps HDSL .. at $200/month... limit you ask? 8GB/8GB!! D:
"why not just switch providers?" - The Telecom has the Monopoly on all Lines, other isps are just Sub-Telecom providers with the same prices, Limitations and even worse Latencies!
my country, without a doubt, ranks one of the lowest on the Download/Upload scale:
