  20. I apologyse for the Rant. Hi, I live in mexico and over here DSL prices for Home users are INSANELY Expensive, it figures since the company that provides this service is a Monopoly. These are the prices: 256/128 = $31 USD + Tax 512/128 = $52 USD + Tax 1000/256 = $86 USD + Tax 2000/512 = $399 USD + Tax 8000/2000 = Comming Soon for like a million dollars i BET! There is also Cable and Satellite, but satellite is even more expensive and Cable has really bad Service but is a little cheaper. I used to think my 512/128 kicked ASS until i found this site, now i feel like like i am on a 9600 baud modem LOL!! and paying for what some of you guys pay for a 5000/3000 Line. LOL We are getting the BIG SHAFT over here! Sorry for the rant, and what a great site you guys have here.
