Yeah. They're way too high. And internal competition? Heck no, not one Icelandic computer hardware manufacturer. It's almost as bad as charging us for bandwidth outside of icelandic domains! Which they do! (~$1 each 25MB - which adds up REALLY quick.) The bastards. Makes me want to bite something.

Edit: Grammar.

Hahah. Yeah. Probably something like that. I know I'm moving out of here as soon as I can. I want to try and get into a decent university some place FAR away. Japan perhaps.

Funny thing though... EVERY ISP charges the same amount for bandwidth outside of Iceland. It's some kind of 3v1l conspiracy. It's 3v1l is so pure words can not describe it.
