I just got a nice present from my ISP. My monthly data allowance got doubled, my internet speed got bumped up by 50% and my monthly bill went down by almost $2 (NZD). But I still think were here in New Zealand get fleeced on our internet costs.

Here's what what I get and what it costs me a month (now) on cable TV + cable broadband + phone:

15Mbs download speed

40GB per month data useage (extra Gigs cost $2.95 per)

Cable TV

Landline telephone (excludes toll calls)

Price per months $149.75 (about $106 USD)

So, by other countries' standards how am I doing: worse off, better off or about the same?
