Prices - South America (Score 1)

I didn't see any threads discussing South American prices.

I live in Santiago, Chile and this is what it looks like here:

You can get Cable Modem from two providers, Metropolis and VTR (they are about to merge).

You can get DSL from many different companies.

You can get wireless/radio from several groups.

At my house I went with Broadband from Metropolis. My connection is 512Kbps download and 256Kbps upload. I pay about US $50/month for this (last year is was $42, but the dollar has crashed here). You can get up to 1Mbps upload and 480Kbps download. Pricing and plans are here:

(click on "Internet" - the link is ridiculously long to post).

DSL pricing is very similar here, but you have to deal with paying for connection fees. I would have preferred this route, but the physical shape of the phone lines to my house made DSL dubious.

I, also, have IP phone service, which is about to be the subject of intense legislative debate in the Chilean government as the cable company is getting around the taxes on phone calls... Same issues, different country.
