Over here, 4.5 MB/s is $70 a month and I think 18 MB is $130.

Yeah. The issue is that Canada population is so much lower than USA that there are fewer ISPs due to lower marketing opportunities, thus, much less competition, so ISPs can jack price up as much as they want. The same happens with cellphones and is why it took so long before the 3G version of PSVita comes out here, although now it's not as bad as a few years ago when the cheapest mobile plan was $50 a month excluding extra fees.

In USA, if a company had such prices, it would go bankrupt fast, but in Canada, as a customer we don't have much of a choice. Of course, governments could simply impose caps on internet fees (depending of the service) or other things like gas prices so that they must match their USA counterparts, but then those companies would just drop out of the Canadian market.

Hmm I never really thought about that.

(Under load) home connection. We pay like €15 a month for dat ADSL2+ crap. Can go up to 6mbps when unused and were lucky. ._.


Also I should be considered lucky apparently because faster than 58% of France. <_<

What's with the ping tho O.O

EDIT: Did a quick speedtest for my internet speed via the SSH tunnel acag set up for me (filter shenanigans)


Also, what's with all the bandwidth caps? IIRC there is no such thing in the netherlands.

As I said, this was under load, and it often poops itself at ping. :/

Edit : ooooh, now I see why it says Verizon when you connect to IRC. XD
