I pay ~30 $/mo (27 €) for this one. I love this country:

If that plan is only $30/month (which BTW is like less than half what we pay for about one tenth that speed) how is it faster than 94% of the country?  Why wouldn't everyone be on board with that!?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

This costs about 90$ per month, the same connection as 40/40 costs about 55$ per month

 

This is "faster than 99% of Norway" Because not that many people are interested enough to get fiber, and the 40/40 package is more than enough for most.

Also it is limited by the infrastructure of the different areas...

Yours I can kind of see... $90 is definitely getting up there and it would be hard to make use of that good of a connection enough of the time to be useful.  But I'd totally get onboard with $30 250Mbit!  Hell, even the best plan offered here is only 100 Mbit, and it's well over $100 a month

yeah, but consider the country as well... Norway has one of the highest average salaries in the world...

The reason for that the salaries are much lower here than in UK. The other reason that it's faster than 94% of the country is that in countryside there are "smaller" ISPs, which offers slightly more expensive packages (eg. Invitel --> 150/60 for ~37$/m), but it depends on the already created infrastructure. In some region the fastest available data plans are differ. Here in Budapest depending on in which district you live can have even 1000/200 for about 15$/m (4000 huf), check the link here: http://digi.hu/ajanlat/internet/lan

I know, it's crazy cheap. Most people don't need that fast connection, they are OK with their 50/10 package which can satisfy their daily browsing and emailing needs.

Got an upgrade to 150Mb with a new ISP router (Self install option FTW) so moved it upstairs, ditched the powerline adapters for my main system in favour of a 10m cat6 cable straight to it. Now use the powerline going to a 2nd router (WD N600) located downstairs to ensure I get as good a wifi connection as I can throughout the house.

 

Oh and It costs around £37 or $57
