I live in the Sydney Central Business District.

1 USD = 1.55 AUD. All other numbers below are Mbps.

I pay 99 AUD per month for 250 down, 25 up.

If I want 1000 down, 50 up, it's 149 AUD per month.

If I want 1000 down, 400 up, it's 329 AUD per month.

If I want 1000 symmetrical, well I haven't even bothered to check because that's a business service.

Meanwhile I believe people in Zurich can get 10000 down/up for approximately what I pay for 250/25.

Of course, Australia is much larger than Switzerland by area, but that's no excuse for such slow speeds in Sydney. I would much prefer 1G or 10G symmetrical even if it was shaped down once leaving Sydney or Australia.
