What you know, is what you indeed DO NOT KNOW :)
In France 20Mbps can not be $50. France Telecom (FT) sells dedicated Internet access to Serbia PTT for the price of $120 per 1 Mbps, for the quantity of 80Mbps.
And this is the Internet access... Now try to move all that Internet from France to Serbia. The leased line is way too costly...
Vegeta, if you go to Saudi Arabia, the gasoline there will cost 8 times less than in Norway (where it is 1 EUR per liter). And Norway citizens do not live on the top of gold hubs. Since you are so smart, try to sell the gasoline
in Norway at the same price as it is in Saudi Arabia.
You looke to me as someone, who is entering the local Mercedes reseller with $4000 in his pocket. If you have money for Daewoo Racer, you drive Daewoo Racer. If you want to drive Mercedes, BMW or Porshe, pay the appropriate price.
Indeed, the price of IDM for 128k/128k (up/down) is ... ... .... $1200 :)
We are speaking of "dedicated" Internet here. Can you get the difference between corporate and home accounts? And between "dedicated" and "shared"? I doubt that you do, because if so - you would not write your post :)
And one last question... Since you are so knowledgeable and you know that in France 20Mbps cost $50, why don't you bring from France 10Mbps and sell them here for even $1000?

they have different offering systems. It'll cost about 133 USD per month of 256 k, for about 4GB monthly volume. That sucks. You can get cheaper though but with lower monthly voume. that's worse then in lebanon.

60 times cheaper then in lebanon.
And no there's no catch. What you get there is virtually a dedicated connection, with the best latencies you can dream of. Go there, try their connextion then answer me.
