Wow, where exactly can I get those prices? I'm in downtown SF and it's $80 not including tax for 200x20 cable. I also don't have the rental fee because I argued with them through three hours and two of my own modems until they finally auth'd my MAC address.

This is the best/cheapest connection I have had; my last connection in NY was 20x5 for $96/mo, also with my own modem. The cable company often tries to sell me a contract TV plan, in exchange for a small temporary package discount, but I un-want TV, so this is not appealing. Also, I hear that in some countries you can't advertise prices that omit tax and surcharges, but here you can.

So I think the US prices in the table are basically fake, where the real prices are about ~2x in my experiance. Just curious whether the prices in other countries are real.

Like can you really get internet for the equivalent of 30-40USD/mo?
