> Broadband: £2,497 Per Month
Bookmark topic
The Japanese might have the best broadband in the world but getting online in Kazakhstan can be a bank-breaking experience according to the latest EU report. First off, only 4% of the country has access but if someone wants an unlimited dial-up - yes, dial-up connection, remember those? – it will cost £55 per month.
When you consider that the average wage is £192 per month, you can see how expensive this is. Moving to an unlimited broadband connection [2Mbps] costs a staggering £2,497 PER MONTH! You can get slower offerings though and a 1MBps connection will only set you back around £1,106 a month. Bargain. It’s hard to believe that this isn’t a Borat sketch.
The state-owned provider Kazakhtelecom is obviously not all that keen on making money. After all, these prices are only around 100 times more than the European average.-Martin Lynch
