Dishnet DSL (www.ddsl.net) in India - which is now borged by Tata
Indicom (which borged VSNL when it was privatized) - 512K DSL capped at
1 GB a month costs around $70 / mo. Something like 8 cents per MB extra
Yes I know it sucks, as does their service (ravening backhoe took out a
bunch of cable so service to most of southern Madras was cut off for
almost 12 hours today - but it's pretty bad when it is up anyway).
