44USD (65AUD) per month for 25/5 in Sydney, Australia. Ditto AussieBB.
From what I hear the NBN (evil monopoly that owns infrastructure for your internet connection in Australia) wants to increase wholesale pricing so that the 25/5 tier costs as much to ISPs as the 50/x tier. EDIT: Looks like this is old news, negotiations and games between the NBN and ISPs are now going other crazy ways.
From that article:
the company said it wants to avoid “having invested in network capability and performance that will not ultimately be enjoyed by end users”
Hilarious. What do NBN Co. think the rest of the world does with the higher performance?
I'm paying $220us/month for 10/10 DSL (which is the best I can get where I live). Most of the time I'm lucky to get 2/2 on this line because our copper is in such bad shape.
