is this discussion only for american?

nevermind, I'll post about mine

---

smartfren from indonesia (although it only works in Java and Bali i think)
unlimited bandwith, 384 kbps, 90k IDR/month (~10 USD)
it uses CDMA simcard, inserted into EVDO Rev.B modem which actually supports ~10 mbps. but they don't give unlimited bandwith on that speed which sucks,, like 50 USD for 15 GB

generally, while it's in good condition, it's not really stable.
when used in MMORPG, skill usage would be delayed 1/xxx second.
I've tried using another connection, being a priest in an MMO, and the character could heal more HP at a tanker who tanked a boss (damage dealt = damage regenerated).
on the other hand, using smartfren, tanker often met critical condition, or even dead sometimes because gap between heals isn't as fast as it should be.
recently they also limit p2p connection, I usually get 12 KBps DL/4 KBps UL.

on bad condition,, it becomes worse.
sometimes it can't connect to foreign sites,, unless it's close enough (like australia or singapore). it's so annoying when it happens,, i can't open facebook, twitter, yahoo or msn messenger, or even worst i can't open google.com.
sometimes its signal also completely gone...

there's almost no better choice here.
speedy which is the most popular ISP in this country, owned by government, has 384 kbps connection for 200k IDR
it's said to be more stable. but it blocks any mature content sites. although mature doesn't mean hershey kisses, they'd still block it anyway. (sankaku complex for example)
