International Connectivity

Steve Suppe writes "As an American who is going to be living overseas for a few years (Germany, to be more exact), I'm curious as to what advice/information Slashdot could provide people like me. How much can I expect to pay for dial-up/broadband, and from who? I'd be interested to hear how it differs around the world. Any good reference sites? Thanks!"

    Man, you're going to Europe, and your big question is how do I stay connected? Here's some better advice

    Visit the Champagne region in France, the caves are incredible

    Go to Paris and visit the Louvre and the Jeu de Pomme, and the L'Orangerie, and the Musee D'Orsay and the Pompidoux, and probably a hundred other museums

    Go to Munich and visit the Science museum there.

    If you're in Strasbourg, go eat a Tarte Flambee

    Soak in the culture, don't waste your time online!

    While you are in Europe, you might decide to spend some quality time overhere. I live in Siberia and pay 720 rubles (~$23) for an dial-up 56k intetnet package that comes with free nights plus 50 hours anytime.
    Surely a rip-off by us standards, but much better than it was 4-5 years ago. Community local ethernet networks are also very popular, mostly for film/music sharing and game playing.

    Err.. not.

    We all know why everybody wants to invade Poland.. because of our beautiful women.

    There you have it.. German women are nasty. Seriously, I was in Germany this summer for ONE month, and I saw maybe half a dozen hot girls.
    But they were all on Television, and from Poland.

    Sucks to be you, bro.
