I live in Paris and have a basic bundle with Orange, the main telco in France. I pay over 60 euros a month (about $90). This is the same as the American average according to the article. I don't know where you can get a bundle in France for 35 euros (about $25). I think the numbers are skewed by their use of a purchasing power multiplier. Everything costs more in Paris, so the price of broadband is relatively less compared to places with a lower cost of living. However, based on my experience, the broadband prices are the same, which is what you would expect to see.

  > Also $35 is 25 euros Not really if you consider VAT and generally higher prices. If you compare a random US city with pretty much any place in the northern EU, $ and € are exactly equivalent.
