lol hahahaha.
here like 1 company has a monopoly virtually on broadband.
for 500mb at 512k its like $70
i cant remember the exact prices, but it like doubles when the thing doubles, 1gb is like 130 and so on. its really not worth it.
and i have a weird charging system. i get 10 gig of international traffic, i.e. for stuff i download from in the country does count to my 10 gig limit.
heres the account for mine so far

Your plan has 10240 megabytes included.
Please remember traffic used in excess of your plan is billed at $0.20 per megabyte.

All figures are in megabytes (MB). The Equivalent column is the chargable usage.
as you see, the "equivilant" is a fraction of what i use
o i have a funny story. my friend has 512k and 2 gig per month. he started a 500mb download and went to ed. soemthing screwed up, so it kept on downloading the 500mb gain and again all night. when they got there bill it was like nearly hundreds excess : D
Good lord... sorry to hear about that. ?Yeah I guess the lack of availability gives even the shittiest ISP the ability to rip people off. ?
*Kindred Sends Phag some fiber bundles, repeaters, and nodes.
I can't imagine ever getting an ISP with a bandwidth limit. Unless it was up into the terabytes, I wouldn't even consider it.
