Surely advances in technology should mean relatively cheap broadband connections for all, regardless of country. Apparently not. Some of these are your proverbial horror stories . . .

Broadband: What's it like where you are?

    I'd guess that depends on the value of their currency verses the other major pairs. For all we know, $600 in their currency could be the equivalent of what we pay.

          An inaniloquent response from someone who's unobservant, evidently infallible, and a young financier to boot. God help us if you're in banking. Arrogance, without an equivalent measure of grey matter, will always leave you standing still in the most intelligent sub-forum of WF. Take this as an astute lesson in charientism.

          By the way, it wasn't an attempt at a joke, "dude".

          No joke at all, your response clearly made it obvious that you had not read the article.

    Was in Uganda for a few years ago in the capital city Kampala. Internet connection was extremely expensive there and there was more downtime than uptime. And when it was uptime, the speed... The speed was just so 1996...
