Here in Switzerland you can get it for $50 [0] and in Sweden for $46 [1].
My favourite thing about it in Switzerland is that a bunch of different ISPs share the infrastructure, so I can get that speed from ~5 providers off the top of my head (Salt, Sunrise, Swisscom, iWay and Solnet).
It's so weird that the US has most of the world's largest tech companies but its technical infrastucture is such a mess.

- crymer11 6y agoIt's a huge mess. The ISP I'm talking about is actually our power company as well, so they have internet service everywhere they provide power service. Thanks to telecom lobbying, some folks in Congress, and the courts, if you happen to live across the street from where they provide power, you can't get internet from them, even though they have the desire and capability to provide it to you.
