Well where i live, portugal as you have 1 single company that controls all the phone lines, and 1 single company responsible for Cable (and they both belong to the same group) we are pretty much being robbed, you get 512/128 (cable and ADSL) for around $45, with 20Gb of national traffic and 2 GB of international. If you want something without limits, well you pay between $80 and $100, all this for a 512/128. If you want something a bit faster like 1Mbit down 256 up you can get ready to pay $250 a month, and for 1Mbit up, get $500 per month and if they like you, you can have it since they dont provide it for the general public...
Where i live (Portugal) the vast majority of ISPs refuse to guive you unlimited access, the "consumer" versions of broadband packages include things like 2gb international, 20 national. Only 2 ISPs supply real unlimited access, and they charge 60eur/month (the cheapest) for ADSL 512/128.
