A 5gb package costs ~80$ per month, and it's ~$150 if you don't like limits. Each additional gig is ~5$. And those prices are in a country where the average monthly pay amounts to ~$700. And it's pretty much a Monopoly, held by a company that was a government institution up until a year ago. And the laws are practically non-existant. The DSL provider can pretty much shut off your access, reset your connection and things like that whenever they like. Without any limitations or reprecussions. They don't even give us maintenance warnings.
What I described just now is just the tip of the iceberg. You don't want me to start ranting and raving about mobile services. Trust me, Australia is pretty well off as far as internet's concerned.

Hi Bozo. I wonder though if Croatian politicians pretend or state that Croatia is on the cutting edge of technology. That's the issue I'm miffed with more than anything. That rather than look at fixing problems or working at ways to improve, the govt. will speak as though there is no problem.
