Damn 30$ discount. How much do you pay in the states for broadband access. I pay about 40$ each month for a 500/500 connection.

That goes for about $70 here, in a competitive, urban market. $50 for 300.

Damn, this is in a small town in the most northern parts of Sweden and the apartment building is locked down to only one supplier aswell.

Wow. I'm in a competitive exurb market and I'm paying $60 for 1.5 Gbps. It's $25 for 300. $40 for 600.
