 | In Ecuador... We have the worst broadband in latin america It has been available since 10 years ago, but a serious lack of competition and government interest (in the purchase of bandwidth in a submarine cable), has the prices of the cheapest residential broadband in 39.90+taxes (12% taxes) for 200 Kbps down/150 up. This same plan cost 49.90 in other cities here, including mine 
See »www.satnet.net/frame.php?cuerpo=···s/cm.php (page in spanish but the prices r there clearly shown)
At least there is private competition (like 10 isp's) but the country don't have it's own fiber link to the underwater cables that pass near our coast. So all prices r high cause we have to link with an ISP in a neigboring country.... |
