The polar opposite of Hostrail

Member, Host Rep
I spotted an advert on WHT, and for some reason I thought of hostrail, then I saw the prices... this could not be further from hostrail... http://www.netshop-isp.com.cy/v3/vps-hosting/cyprus-vps-hosting.html
I would like to assume that the prices are an error, this is the sort of thing that will give the hard core LEB'ers a nightmare!
Not trying to make fun of other hosts but.... seriously !

The servers are actually in Cyprus so i'm not surprised on the cost
Getting fiber to islands is always a pain in the ass and very costly. On Vancouver Island you can't get a 100mbit unmetered line unless you drop thousands a month.

I guess that's what you pay for servers hosted in Cyprus? Truly "offshore," ha...
Now you say it and my brain has kicked in.. Yeah I did some defence work years ago for a DC roll out in Cyprus which involved getting a 20mbit pipe in to the DC and that was no fun.... no fun at all.
Why is it so expensive to get fibers to islands? Isn't it the same as intercontinentalcables between e.g. Europe and the USA?
They do multi terabit links between continents where as to an island they may have a 10gig or two.
To Vancouver Island, where I live, there is 30Gbit to the whole south island and we're only 30 miles from Vancouver.

I thought it's an
absolute/general polar opposite, and notprice polar opposite, would have been a 100% (perfect) success in web hosting if it was the firstWelcome to Australia!
