Just to put you at ease Leosghost, I only have a 100 mbps fiber optic connection to my home still...

Seem I am at the Internet's equivalent of the Third World. Commercial broadband (where commercial stands for class-c network + 24/7 support) is outrageous pricey over here.

We just switched to a 2.3 MBit fiber optic line (with bandwidth growth potential) and we pay some 400 EUR/month for it. Before that, we had a 1 MBit line which used the former state owned monopolists infrastructure and we paid about 700 EUR/month.
