When I lived i Sweden I had a 100/100Mbit with no limits... Gee I miss that connection

Just for yourself? How many people have such high speed in Sweden. Does Sweden have the international bandwidth to support such thing for home users?

Hello !

I am in paris, i ve got a 24mb/1mb and free phone to call in 15 europe country and 100 television channels for 29€ (17 cyp) per month !!!!

its great and we can have the 10/100mb with optic fiber for 49€ (28cyp) but only in paris.

i can download 2go in 23 minutes for example.

And in september i will move in cyprus ... and cry !

blondophile, things will get better in Cyprus but don't expect us to become like Paris. Cyprus is less than a million people. Paris is many times more than that. Is the 24Mbit offered in the whole France or the main cities only?

is the cities in blue on the map.

Only main cities, paris and suburb, but for everyone we have 10mb/192kbits. After that depend some village in moutain doesnt have adsl yet, but with the REadsl we can go up to 15km of the main central.

I've read a long time ago that 100/100mbit connections are also common in Japan and cost just around $40/month.

Japan, Singapore etc are always first to adopt new technologies. Probably everyone in Singapore has his own dedicated fiber optic cable!

I stayed as a guest of my Embassy there, last year, and learned much about life there. Singapore has the highest %age of privately owned housing in the world.

It is soooooo disciplined: chewing gum is illegal, not flushing a toilet is illegal, no-one speeds, few people smoke in the street. It is so different to Cyprus - whether the narrow constraints within which everyone lives would get oppresive after a while I dont know, I still prefer Cyprus - land of the free!

Yea I was going to say but that does sound a bit too much... I mean chewing gum illegal. I could see throwing your gum anywhere but the trash illegal but just chewing it.... some of the rest sounds right but still a bit too much

Singapore is quite strict I say. I enjoyed a visit there but was never so happy to be back amongst the undisciplined. I'd rather have less technology and more personal freedom!

[Sotos]

That would never work with Cypriots. Asian people are traditionally disciplined. Cypriots are the opposite
