Out of interest, how much do you pay for broadband internet in the rest of the world? In the UK, it can cost anywhere from £19/month ($34 converted) to £30/month ($54 converted), for a 512kbps connection. A 2 megabit connection is quite rare over here, with prices ranging from £37/month ($66) for an ISP who uses their own ADSL hardware instead of BT's, to upto around £80 ($143) for some ISPs that use BT's wholesale lines (as most do).
