Broadband Pricing Across The World?

Posted by timothy on from the mark-free-areas-in-green dept.

Freedom_Canadian writes "I was wondering if it would be possible to put up a world map with broadband internet pricing. The prices in Eastern Canada are ridiculous comparing to some states, around $24 US for DSL or cable. I would like to know who is getting screwed, and who are the lucky ones." What are the best and worst prices in your own area? Perhaps someone handy with graphics can collect some good data points from your comments and create such a beast.

    Means their princesses won't go down on him.

    At least, they won't go down on him if he's not wealthy enough to ignore the cost of cable. But hell, anyone could have told him that...

    This spelling thing on slashdot is getting beyond a joke. Now we can't even spell geek for god's sake.

    Bonus points for correct use of apostrophe though.
