I live in Sweden...
You can get 10 and even 100 Mbit fiber, but not for $10, more like $50-100
But that is only in the larger cities.
Most people can get 8 Mbit, almost everybody can get 0.5 Mbit (ADSL)
I pay $45 for 8/1 Mbit (8 down, 1 up)
Anyway, we (sweden) was one of the first countries with laws against piracy, long before US
The new law makes it illegal to download copyrighted material, before it was illegal to have, use, share and upload copyrighted material. (you could download but not have or use it... I know... )
Cheap... well:
Example:
12 Neck Mounting Ferrules,
StewMac: $5.44
GMF (the only supplier of parts in sweden): $48.16
Maybe cheaper internet but...
