Most Expensive DSL Market = Europe
Posted: 15th Apr, 2003 By: MarkJ
Europe may have one of the fastest growing broadband ADSL industries, yet new research from Point Topic shows that it's also one of the most expensive:
The research indicates that service providers in North America and Asia Pacific continue to be cheaper than those in Europe, as they have been for the past three years. Point Topic focused their study on average residential tariffs for the first year (including any one-off equipment, installation and activation charges) levied by the larger operators, choosing services closest to the 500kbps standard.
Illustrating the trend, Point Topic give the example of first year cost for Bell Canada's 1mbps service which has consistently been around E28 (US30) per month since March 2001. Compare this with costs in France of between E40 (US43) and E64 (US69) for the same period, or between E56 (US60) and E74 (US80) in the UK.
