Does EVERYONE in Europe have a 100 Megabit Internet connection?

Is that the only speed available over there? Because everyone I know from there has EITHER that or crappy 56K or ISDN modem connections... I like to know how much you pay for it (if u have the 100 Mbit)... Because that's FAST! Is this kind of connection availble in USA? Do ADSL and Cable connections exist over there? If not, why? I want some info on EU's Internet connections, etc...

THANKS!

How much does it cost over there (EU)?

people who have 100 Mbs are the ones living in Universities dorms... its like in the US or Canada... In general people in Europe have more difficulties getting high speed internet and at higher cost than in North America.

Here in Lithuania (if you know where it's located) DSL, which I have (256kbps download/64kbps upload, no limit of downloaded information), cost 60$/month. It's the most optimal variant for ordinary people.

I have 512 kBit and monthly costs are 45 euro's.

shutup?? to me?

In Canada you can get DSL 1300Kbps/160kbps for as low as 20$ US a month, no limits but lots of companies are starting to implement stupid limits here and there...

Ireland is the best country for broadband in the world.

56k - charged per minute.
ISDN - charged per minute + ridiculous rental.
No flat rate Internet service available.

About 20 people have cable in the country.
ADSL isnt out yet, price �270 per month for 1mbit down, 256kbit up.

Thats it.

100 mbit to your home? what's the real uploads and downloads? any limits?

This is insane!! anyone could have his own webserver/ftp server/etc...

I'm not paying a penny for my 1 Mb HomePNA connetion and this isn't even a student building where I'm living. Free internet for all the residents. Pretty cool, eh...

Well, that's stretching it a bit, the minister in charge of "broadband affairs" is a known lier,
I doubt that everyone in Sweden will have broadband in 2006. I mean everyone is alot of people.

But, alas, broadband is pretty common in about 75% of the country or so, where 90% of the people live.

I myself, situated in the capital, is on a 512Kb ADSL connection.

and i thought that our prices are expensive...

i'm on 1.5mbit dl / 128kbit ul adsl costs 55$...

Posted by Exhale on Jul-14-2002 14:34:

I pay 99Euro for a 7800kbit/512kbit ADSL-subscription. That's the fastest thing available in my region. Any faster means going to a university.

USA bandwidth rates...

In the USA all is charged by month

DSL/Cable = $50/1mb ... $30/256kb
56k Modem = $5-20

I use to have cable, but couldn't afford $600/yr, so I switched to 56k for only $50/yr. Its fine for email and web, but sucks for dl large files such as music. Although with AG head cut off, its not an issue anymore, dam RIAA.

Damn! I wish I was living over there! Over here, we get 56K for US$5 - $24/month ($24 for AOL ), ADSL for $39.95 - $79.95/month (up to 1.5 Mbit DL/? UL) and Cable for $44.95 - $54.95/month (depends on wether you're a Comcast Cable TV customer or not). T1's unknown but, I believe it's in the $1000+ range...

in spain 56k is extremely expensive but you can buy hours for a set price and subscribe to things free from 1800 - 0800 and free on weekends, but i have 512k and find this to be the best option it costs 230 euros to connect then 39 euros a month.

i've got adsl and it costs 45 euro's...
but the phonecompany limited the d/l and u/l rate.. so my highest d/l is 55 kb/s and my highest u/l is 14 kb/s .. the only good thing about this is that it's VERY stable..

U must mean China, because HK became a part of China on 1997-07-01 (They never were a nation so, what made you think that they were?). I thought that the world leader would be Japan (they're the world leader in technology!!!), followed by some EU country.
