    I forgot. There is this legacy telecom company. After it had been bought by a greek telco op, they started exploiting the same legacy copper infrastructure therefore they're now providing ADSL subscriptions. This solution is available across the country as long as they have a couple of copper lines near you.

    What kind of service is available in rural Romania?

    touche. If the village is close to a larger city there is a chance you might get a fiber link otherwise you can only get a mobile modem (1-3 MBits) for the same amount of money. And then it sounds like Rogers.

    I'm in Romania and I pay ~15 USD for cable, land phone line and a 50MBits internet connection (no limits whatsoever). Depending on peer's upload bandwith I can go up to 1-3 Mbytes (not MBits) while downloading stuff. Some would call this service tri-play. Aren't such services available in .ca or .us ?
