Re: Average Internet speeds
I didn't till I spent a few hours looking the other day, and now I am waiting for a 100% confirmation about this $39.95 plan.
The website says it is available, but when I went to sign up, it offers me the ADSL2+ Extra Family 36GB plan for $99.95.
I am wanting confirmation from them, as they also say: "iPrimus cannot at present provide this service on a Fast Transfer or to customers transferring from networks other than Telstra."
The result from iPrimus, after entering my phone number is:
Your Exchange: Victoria Point
Services available in your area: ADSL2+/ADSL
TPG state: ADSL2+ service is currently NOT available in Victoria Point. Your exchange supports an ADSL connection with speeds up to 8000k/384k.
aanet state: Standard ADSL1 services are available in your area

Re: Average Internet speeds
Romanian cities are crowded (so the network infrastructure is very cheap to build) while the rural areas have no ISPs (so they are not "pushing down" the average speeds). For about 35 mbps download and 3 mbps upload (without any traffic limit) I'm paying now EUR 7 per month (= about AUD$ 11) in Romania.
