Sigh. Seeing a lot of these makes me sad.

South Africa (and this is the fastest you can get really):

You have to have a landline R 133 (currency is Rands btw)

4mb down/512kb up DSL Line: R 413

15gig cap: R199 If you run out, you can get another 3gb for R 45.

all equals: R 745

So thats about $ 103.67 (US) or £ 67

And you almost never sync at 4mb. Anywhere between 1Mb and 3.5Mb is the norm.

Loads of unlimited data plans out there, though some at pretty low speeds.

So it seems to me that in order of best to worst service for price it's:

Europe

South America/Middle East

North America/Asia

Aus/NZ

Africa (though that's only based on one sample from South Africa)

I say we all beat up on the Europeans!!

Pretty small sample size for Asia and Africa with vastly different countries.

I know both the Aus and NZ governments are working on getting ultrafast broadband around the country to improve internet speeds, but I doubt it will improve price, hopefully it will allow unlimited data plans (you can get unlimited data plans if you go for 56Kbs dial-up, but that ain't broadband). Aus, NZ and USA are looking at laying another transpacific telecommunications cable which should also help with international communications speed and quality. But all that comes at a cost to the user.
