I'll just mention that in Romania I pay $15 for unlimited bandwidth at 5 Mbps (it even gets speeds of 10Mbps and up for connections from inside the country) and they give you free install and fast costumer support also. Romania was smart/lucky because people started their own micro-ISPs (Block/Neighborhood Networks) with 50 to 3000 customers each. Buying from bigger ISPs very powerful connections and selling it to more users that shared that connection. Thanks to competition, it brought the prices down a lot and even the big ISP had to adjust. Edit: There is a side effect like having this http://www.roconsulboston.com/Media/Artists/DDBuchJly08/WiresLg.jpg http://www.roconsulboston.com/Media/Artists/DDBuchJly08/Wire... on almost all streets in Bucharest, but I find the benefits much higher. Also Wireless Internet is free in pubs/bistros/coffee houses that provide this service here.
