Schocked but starting to reach a decision...

I'm an internet neard from Sweden now living in Austria, that said and done you should comprehend the following:
1. i'm always online (not atm due to having just moved to austria)
2. my traffic is FAR above limits of 500MB-15GB/month
Short
my opinion is: go for inode
Long
This is how it looks in Sweden:
all flatrate when it comes to traffic
usually connections are 2MB+/s
usually those low-speed connections cost abt 5-10€/month
the best atm is offering 10MB/s connections at abt 15€/month
Now how did that happen? How did Sweden become fast, cheap and easy (note the hint at the swedish blond bikini-team! ;D hehe)?
This is how it happened... the providers noted that flatrate was a must and the fact that an initial investment in technology will pay itself a hundred times over if you are the first to have it (means you need balls to play that game (not yellow ones from Tretorn or white ones with dimples... get it?
)). Some companies went creative and made the investment; 1 month later all companies had to do it (the less serious ones died, which is a good thing).
Not being flatrate and offering high-speed connections is crazy imho. Those who want speed on the internet NEED flatrate. End of case.
Now how can we get this development here in good ole Österreich?
I have a few ideas, but am out of time to write here at the internetcafe.
Anyway, looking at the different providers today i see that the only "new" provider which has something to offer which seems to be in line with the development as it should look is inode. They have new ideas, means they have good techs behind it. They need to simplify their procedures a bit, and make another few changes but i think they're getting there.
I'm waiting for my password for this forum, once i have it you'll find me as cordin. Now i have to go.
