you don't know the cost of putting cables,fibers under the ground and on the poles, walls.
i used to work for china telecom, managing related database projects. the cost on the lines/fibers is at least 50% of total cost, and it's higher abroad because of the labor cost. typically in place like au, there are house every where, you put 500m line, can only serve 10 homes. But in place like china, 1km line can serve 2000 homes.
As for downloading, i use exetel, 8+40G, 40$/month, far than enough for me, as long as I don't donwload HD movies.
and broadband in Shanghai is at least 120/month, here normally is 40-80. it's cheaper here |
