Major US broadband providers (BBPs) are claiming that they need more
flexible pricing policies
most active french ISP (www.free.fr) was the first here to give adsl2+
24Mb down / 1 Mb up unlimited with free VOIP/phone and TV & free
modem. The same give still as many 10Gb web space as one wants for
free as well as mail accounts
the same will propose very soon direct fiber to home probably for the
same price, may be for 40 euros at max with 100 Mbits bidirectional
bandwith.
And this one makes money...
so money is not a real problem
the main reason is certainly than most users don't use even a small
amount of the bandwith available on average.
even we, here, most of us, have use of high bandwith only once in a
while, for dvd dl
the same company (in fact a sub-company of it) proposes homing
computers for 30 euros/month (VAT excluded) http://www.dedibox.fr/
and this can be with opensuse in the box :-)
