      Just curious, do you mean https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verizon_Fios? If so, what are you paying currently?

      Will be $115 for 25/25 or $125 for 50/50

      Erm... sure? That's... wow, just wow.

      Is that cheap? I've had FiOS for so long we're just used to the pricing.

      He's not in the US. No one pays Internet prices like the US. They are some of the highest in the world.

      300Mb/s 4G is just $8/mo in Moldova.

      10 EUR for 1GB and flat for all landline and Vodafone internal calls here in Germany.

      Used to be way more expensive a few years ago.

        Things work the opposite here in the US>

        Prices on that stuff keep rising and rising...

            On the other hand... what are you paying for standard gasoline (no super etc)? Same for your homes... When you want to build a normal house, it's like 200k EUR+ here

              Took it from drug dealers. Get them hooked and relying on it and then hike up the price.

                Housing prices are actually higher in much of the US. Places like Texas are cheaper than Germany, but Romania is a fraction of Texas (like 5% - 10% the cost.) And places like NY are more expensive than pretty much anywhere in Europe. Our housing prices are not drastically different, but I think that you'll find most Americans are paying more than most Europeans for housing. $200K doesn't get you much house in the US. You can get an okay house for that in Texas or Nebraska, but only in cities that pay very low (I have one for sale in Texas if you want.)

                  My little, doesn't even stand on its own, 24 year old house in the woods in NY is $335K to build today and $500K not that long ago. And it is heading back towards $500K. It would be a normal size, but low quality, house for Germany.

                    The lightweight construction method that's so common in the US?

                      Kind of a lean to.

                        I would be very happy to get a house for that cheap here. :[

                        Lots of cheap homes in Canada but no where you would want to live.

                                I'd have to check but I strongly suspect the violence per capita rate is also much lower. Even in larger cities / urban cores.

                                      Because the murder per capita is so low I bet. It's mad max here in the states.

                                      Not according to the DNC last night.

                                      Don't trigger me

                                      Your trigger word is anything that ends in "ing" or "xico" isn't it...

                                        10 EUR for 1GB and flat for all landline and Vodafone internal calls here in Germany.

                                        Used to be way more expensive a few years ago.

                                        Things work the opposite here in the US>

                                        Prices on that stuff keep rising and rising...

                                        0_1469562567890_sad_but_true.png

                                        On the other hand... what are you paying for standard gasoline (no super etc)? Same for your homes... When you want to build a normal house, it's like 200k EUR+ here

                                        I would be very happy to get a house for that cheap here. :[

                                        Lots of cheap homes in Canada but no where you would want to live.

                                        Canadian prices are worse than the US. They've gotten insane up there.

                                        Because the murder per capita is so low I bet. It's mad max here in the states.

                                        Depends on what area of the states you're in. Not enough people to go all mad max around here.

                                          In which direction would my statement trigger you?

                                            This is a valid question... because I'm going the other way.
