Re: What's broadband to you? (Sweden)

Here in Sweden we have mainly two big ISP's for private users. One with ADSL 512k for 32 euro/month, the other makes new connections to bigger houses or areas and offers 10 mb for 28 euro/month. They have argued a lot about what can be called broadband and not. The ADSL company claims it's broadband while the others says that it should be at least 2 mb. T1 at work but I don't know the cost, unlimited access on all connections though. Last time I had 56k I spent about 15 euro.

Cheers.

In Canada, when we talk consumer broadband (for the Internet) we are talking generally a megabit a second "ish" and often considerably higher. Naturally many servers and network congestion makes attaining this not always possible, but for the most part we are very fortunate in our broadband connectivity and capacity.

That said, I am curious what broadband means or implies elsewhere on the planet in regards to the Internet.

I ask because things have changed considerably in the last 5 years. When I was living in Munich, ISDN was broadband (and expensive). When I was living in Singapore, 56k was pretty much all you could get, but now I understand they have laid fibre all over the country. Is DSL in California still limited? Any insight would be helpful to me.

Thanks in advance.
