In Netherlands I live in a city I have ADSL which is around 2.5 MBps download and 300 KBps upload (Big B = Byte, not bit, multiply by 8 for bits). Unfortunately, for Netherlands the ISP does not matter, it is the government who owns the line (ISP only rent it), so no alternative. The price is around €30.
In my parents place in a small village in Bulgaria we have coaxial cable above ground. I get 4-10 MBps download and 1-8 MBps upload (no hard limits, depends on the usage, but usually it is above average). The network is really prone to breaking due to thunderstorms, but it is super fast. The price is 32лв. (~€16) and includes cable TV.
It is amazing what lack of regulations can do for the internet (if you do not care there are cables everywhere outside).

In Word you can only store 2 bytes. That is why I use Writer.

France, countryside, 8-10Mbps ADSL, 39€/month (but it is triple-play, so with TV, phone, and reductions on mobiles, etc...). Fiber is around 60 to 70€ for 100Mbps, but still not deployed in the countryside.

VDSL2 50 MBit/s up, 10 MBit/s down, no limit
at 45,00 € including phone (free calls within Germany), .DE domain, extended email services
100 / 40 MBit/s would be 10,00 € more
Small town (pop. 10k)
Fibre is on planning stage here. Expected costs are about 50,00 € for the lowest speed which might be 100 or 250 MBit/s then.

200 MB download / 20 MB upload + TV (combi package) is €63,50 where I live in the Netherlands.
We do have a choice though, for example, KPN has roughly the same price for half those MB's.

I pay British Telecom £10 a month to rent the line even though I don't use it for phone calls
I pay Sky £20 a month to provide broadband

$40/month for 16mb (but I only get a bit less than 5mb because of crappy Telekom lines which they will fix Real Soon Now. It has been Real Soon Now since May of '17).

Funny, I always thought you were based in the US.
Sounds seriously overpriced.

Well, it also comes with three IP phone numbers and probably a bunch of streaming stuff (which doesn't at 5meg, and online storage which I don't use, and maybe an email address or two which I also don't use.)
(I'm a US person working for the US Army here, soon to be retired and then living in Romania.)

SGD $39 (about USD $29) for 1 Mbit with a phone line thrown in
no volume caps or other crap, but some local 'filtering' easily bypassed with a VPN.
This internet thing is amazing! Letting people use it: worst idea ever!

I live in the boonies of upper-state NY. The only provider in my area is Mid-Hudson Cable. Check out their outrageous prices: Pricing | Mid-Hudson Cable
The base rate I pay is $75/mo, not including fees, taxes, etc., that they hit you up with, so it comes out to almost $100/mo.

I find the difference in speed vs pricing very odd.
I can choose between 1, 10, 100, 250 and 1000Mb/s, with the difference in price similar to your 100, 125, 150, 175 and 200 Mb/s.
I have to say I'm glad that we have a law over here that states that the final price (including taxes and fees) must always be stated.

It doesn't seem too bad. We live in the the foothills of the Sierra's in California and we pay $125 for 15MB down 2MB up and that's when it works at full speed most of the time it's slower.

30-75 Mbps, $20/Month. @ Chennai, India.

Nearly the same conditions. 20€ but 20 Mb/s and telephony.
Tip: when it comes to saving some money tweaking small things only helps little, savings will be done be the expensive things like buying a smaller car or moving to cheaper house/flat. And alway compare at least 3 offers when signing a contract and ask friends for experiences.
Press F1 for help or google it.

Cable company provides mine in a city of approx 100k people.
No data limit, 100 up / 5 down, consumer accounts runs about $80USD per month plus tax and fees. Mine costs about $100USD +tax/fees because I have a business account.
Got that after a series of storms kept knocking out my internet due to a leak in the junction box. The business SLA forces them to respond to outages on my line in under 24 hours. Otherwise it would be "when they had time" which sometimes meant 4 or 5 days later after things had dried up and the problems resolved themselves.

The majority of speed test sites rate it slightly higher (about 55/55). The exception is Comcast's test site, which I do not believe. It rates it at about 55/20.

I am a Comcast subscriber, but I do not share your cynicism about their speed tests. Their results are virtually identical to what I get from my SamKnows box.

This probably resulted in this:
- No matter how many examples you provide: You are wrong.
- Even worse: It's somehow all your fault now.
- You now are in the doghouse until you learn to behave yourself.
- It's now up to you how you express your regret for the things you did. As long as it involves bringing home flowers.
