Here in the UK I have a 2Mbps download speed ADSL line with unlimited downloads for £17.99 (use Google to change into your currency)
In this country practically all ADSL connections have a 256Kbps upload speed (me included).

Problem is that in practice when I do online speed tests I only get about 1.1Mbps download.

100.0Mbps is amazing. I don't know which country your from or how much you pay but that is pretty fast when you consider a lot of people are still on dialup (=0.05Mbps very roughly) or broadband rated between 128-512Kbps (=0.1 - 0.5Mbps).

Other people are on 2Mbps or 8Mbps, but in this country most people can't yet get these speeds or else it is prohibitively expensive
