Just you wait, new guys(not Redtone or WiMAx or whatever they called it) are coming in and bringing in better deals, foreign companies.

WiMAX can go stuff itself where the sun don't shine. Their coverage is so bad at the moment it's not funny. I'm glad some new companies are coming in, TM has had a monopoly long enough. You've seen the new gov't initiative to get 50% broadband coverage by 2020? Hilarious.

mgz:

Those are the speeds of what my plan used to be. They raised them to 25/15 in my area, but unless you call them out on it, they'll just let you keep paying more for less. You might want to check and see what the current offers are in your area.

Path:


Monthly Fee: $15
Bandwidth: 100/100
Country: Sweden
Service Provider: Perspektiv Bredband, through the local municipal fiber net.

As far as download quotas go, I think we got rid of them back around the time ISDN died out.
