I must be sleepy or out of my mind...
Sorry about the mistake. It's around 15k~20k/year income in Taipei area for an average person works for a company.
And my ADSL deal is not special at all. You just paying too much. http://www.promotion.hinet.net/hot2.htm For the first 10 months, it's NT$990/month, then it's NT$1090/month, which is about US$33.
It's weird but 8M/640k is actually cheaper than 2M/512k.

I live in Taiwan. Here's some info for you.
An average person earns like US$150~200k a year. The 8M/640k ADSL line from Hinet, taiwan's largest ISP, is US$33/month, with 1 fixed IP+ 7 floating IP addresses.
People here are used to DIY PCs. But not so used to pay for software. Part of the problem is that lot's of people just scared to do Windows Update, because they're using pirated copy. Another part of the problem is that infomation about computing here are very easy to get. So lot's of people are using Linux or some shareware/software running their own servers. But these people really don't have the skills to secure that server.
