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!

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.
u couldn't scratch the surface or braodband under 60$/mth (256Kbit) and that's with a BULLSHIT 3Gb/mth limit
of course u can get 512Kbit or more line but WTF is the point .... I mean who wants to dl their email that fast
broadband in Aus @ the mo is REALLY fucked up !!

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.

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...
