Please sign me up for that deal. Granted of course exchange rates are different. I am paying $69 a month for my 1.5 Mbps ADSL http://www.instantnetworks.net/dsl
A possible reason why powerline works in other countries rather than the US is becuase in Europe and other countries is because power transformers serve more customers elsewhere rather in the US. It would not be cost effective to do so here.
Another reason even before powerline Europe was big on ISDN and it never really caugh on in the US. Why? Probably due to a money issue and DSL and Cable on the horizon. Also goverments control much of the inrastructure and so they can afford to undertake these big projects.
In other cases there is no infrasructure to begin with. Example:Why wireless use has skyrocketed in 3rd world countries.
