In Australia prices vary very much but in general you can have DSL 512/64 with 1 GB download for about A$ 45 a month with A$ 5 per GB thereafter which is pretty good. THe same company offers 1500/128 and 10GB before capping to 64 kbps for A$ 80 per month.
I'm just getting cable installed, it costs A$ 70 per month for full speed up to 10 GB and thereafter shaped to 64 kbps. HOwever, many users report in forums they've gone far beyond the 10 GB but still havent been shaped. The contract actually says: "You may be shaped..."
Now that A$ 70 is currently around US$ 50 or so but since the US dollar is heading to become worthless piece of paper that ratio is changing a lot daily.
