VanBuren Posted November 27, 2004 Author CID Share Posted November 27, 2004 yea but it will get cheaper as more and more ISP dig fiber, bandwidth in US today is very overpriced, compared to scandinavia and japan. Middle Europe also has overpriced bandwidth. OR we are underpriced in scandinavia and japan hehe VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanBuren Posted November 27, 2004 Author CID Share Posted November 27, 2004 I think government has to pay a part of the fiber to homes, cos its too expensive for most ppl. Atleast in more unurban areas, in big citys the install / customer should be alot less If our government didnt pay 50% of all installation costs im sure that i would have adsl right now, and fiber would just be installed only in the big citys. i live in a small village 20 KM from Lule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishNET Posted November 27, 2004 CID Share Posted November 27, 2004 I personally think that my 3.0 / 768 is kinda good for 29$ lol, especially since AOL 56K is like 24$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
