Ask HN (outside the US): Your Internet Connection

Here in the US, the max internet connection speed is ~10-15 megabits per second down and maybe 1 mbps up (unless fiber is available), plus a lot of ISP's have restrictions against serving content from a residential connection.

I've always heard that you can get crazy good speeds abroad. So, what's your connection speed, and what's its cost? Do you also have the same restrictions on serving content from your connections? Have any of your ISPs started capping bandwidth yet?

This seems a bit off topic, but I've been frustrated with my connection as of late.
