    4TBs(actually 3.6) are more than enough!

    300GBs a month are you kidding? how many good movies do you know/want? lets say about 100? each is about 700 megs, that's 70 gigs. Music? how much like 30 gigs at most? games - like 50 gigs, browsing - 1 gig at most, streaming stuff 10 gigs, downloading some apps 5 gigs

    total = 166 gigs, you have 134 gigs left a little less than a half, and you downloaded everything!

    i'd say for 80 euros and 100MB speed, this is AWESOME!

    btw muffen how is English in Sweden? do many people understand it there?

    Actually, I just realized that with the exchangerate now, it's almost 90 euros :)

    You should have no problem with only english there. We're forced to learn it in school for a minimum of 5 years, and most people (like 85% or so) study it for 8 years. I managed to live in England and Ireland... and I grew up in Sweden, so I only knew english from school :)
    Also, all TV/movies are only subtitled, so you're almost required to understand english.
    unless the company would pay me a lot of money, i mean a lot, i wouldn't move anywhere!

    I moved before these connection came around ... but to be honest, I'm happy I didn't stay in Sweden. I've lived in four countries so far, and trust me, when you move countries, you learn a lot, and I wouldn't give that up, not even for 100Mbits :)

    BTW, if you wanna see something interesting, look up gigasunet on google. It's the Swedish university network, and they have 2 * 2,5gigabits going out from every university, and the main access onto the internet is from KTH in Stockholm, also 2 * 2,5gigabits.

    Currently, my sister is studying in a swedish university, so she has 10MBits (alot of student houses have 10MBit connections included in the rent).
    My dad (who uses internet for online banking only) has 2MBits. I use the internet all the time, and I have 1Mbit for which I'm paying 204 euros a month (uncapped Eircom line). Sometimes, it's just not fair! :/

    i'd be willing and happy to pay 200 for 100Mbs

    it's cool English is good in Sweden, i don't really like the idea of forcing though

    wow! i didn't know you could move countries! now that's a force! i wouldn't give it up either, not for 100 megs not for anything else :D

    MY GOD! i think the only country that comes close is Finland, then Japan, of course USA and UK must have a very fast connection(imo faster than Sweden faster than Japan) but not for the public like in Sweden! and not as cheap!

    i'm crying! i'm crying! :(
