best joke ever, $20 for 20GB with 3G max speed 8Mbps ?
Best ISP for mobile internet ?
And inside Europe sucks too. They don't peer with anyone in Spain and plenty of traffic is backhauled to London.
Comcast is definitely not horrible though either. I wouldn't go as far as to call them good but Verizon's network is far worse, as is AT&Ts.
HE provides an impressive vslue.
Maybe there are no decent Internet Exchanges there then? Because elsewhere they are in almost all possible internet exchanges and peer with anyone who wants to peer with them.

They are present, but all routes from Madrid to Paris inside their network were backhauling to London for months. Same for Amsterdam if I remember correctly, looks like this is not the case anymore.
UPC probably has the best speeds in Germany, they are also very cheap and have good customer support. Really sad, that I'm stuck with NetCologne.
I've had both Comcast and verizon fios, I would defiantly choose verizon. A little pricey but I always get my advertised speed + sum and the only major outage I've had is when a tree fell outside my house and knocked down some of the lines. Only had about 5 interruptions that lasted less than an hour in the time I've had them.. And that's been years, can't remember when I first got them.
which are in China.
That's not really fair to say; Internode/Agile runs a global network that has capacity around the globe in both directions. Being connected at so many major POPs would allow it to be considered as very well connected:

Huh, never saw that! Thanks
In Bangladesh,

I think ispros is better. But i have to use other....

well, comparison with other cellular operator in Indonesia, Telkomsel is the best I think. Indosat have 42Mbps QoS, but in real usage I only got 2-4Mbps.
I think 2-4 Mbps is the most seen speed around the world on 3g+. Should not need more than that unless mobile is your only connection and you need tethering, but that is not a good idea if you need good and stable ping and, ultimately, connection.
In a few years, terrestrial lines will be more or less redundant, needed only by a small number of people, but we are not there yet.
But UPC has one of the worsest peering policies and overloaded uplinks to Level 3 and NTT. Stay away from LGI/UPC.
CU 3G is by far best. Speeds vary depending on location, but at least most websites open. Good coverage around China. Works pretty well up to 250 km/h. Competitive and flexible plans. Stay away from CM if you can.
There is landline internet service as well. Telecom and Mobile are not that bad on this service.
Verizon Business / uunet aspac (AS703) is the most well connected ISP in the land down under.
As for my place,
Singtel is, but the local loops / links are so, so bad. If you survive those and reach their international fibers, it's pretty good.
On the transit side, pretty much everyone is in Sg -- so hard to decide.

Where I live it's not unusual to see ~20 Mbit/s on HSPA+.
Nothing good here in Hong Kong. REALLY.
If you got to arrange the order, I will go for:
HKBN(FTTH) > HKBN > PCCW (aka Netvigator) > HGC >
iCable(don't use it unless you want troubles with contract issue)depends on the site capacity. here on average i get about 20Mbps. but down the road your lucky to get 3Mbps
Tata and he.net is great!
