What do you guy's in the UK pay a month for broadband? I have heard here in New Zealand it's a lot more expensive than other parts of the world, For 100g I pay 70 NZD which is about £35 a month.
im currently paying £21.50 a month for a land line and 30mb cable from Virgin, they give me a so called £10 loyalty discount but in reality it's just the price they would charge a new customer for 6 months.
i've had to reduce my usage, i was doing about 400GB, but they are going to start enforcing bandwidth 'limits' (ie: charging us if we go over), and mine is 250GB/Mo, on a 25mb/s connection @ $60CAD/mo
recently upgraded from a 15mb/s (150GB limit) @$52/mo
don't really watch 'tv' so i pretty much stream most of the video i watch and d/l a few tv programs here and there that i want to see.

I download a few torrents & play online with the PS3/4.
I would say my monthly usage is probably around 100Gb tops. I did once get a letter from Virgin Media though telling me my usage was very high and unusual and to check to see if someone else is using my broadband. I had downloaded around 4-5Tb of data in the month. I replaced my PS3 hdd and downloaded 1Tb worth of games and then my 4Tb NAS died and was replaced under warranty with a 6TB from WD so i had to redownload all of my NAS stuff which was pretty full
I was paying £140 per month for TV, Phone & 152Mb Broadband with Virgin Media but found i wasn't really using the TV or phone so have now dropped down to just the 50Mb BB package and pay £24.50 per month

My BT Infinity is £26 a month I think, plus you have to have a BT phone line, which I pay the line rental yearly working out at just over £10 per month, plus I also have a £7 per month add on that gives me unlimited anytime calls at no extra cost..
So my FTTC 80Mb broadband plus line rental and unlimited monthly calls is roughly £43 per month.
And BT Infinity is a completely uncapped unlimited service.
It seems more internet providers are now moving back to more unlimited bandwidth based packages. Not like a few years ago where it was getting quite bad with adsl broadband and nearly every provider enforcing unrealistic monthly caps just as video streaming and game downloading services were off.
