According to the European Commission “Europe’s 400 million Internet users face a geographic lottery regarding the price, speed, and range of choice of broadband”. Up to 400% price difference between EU countries in advertised broadband offers in the 12-30 Megabits per second (Mbps) category of fixed broadband that most Europeans subscribe to. Prices start from €10 to €46 per month, depending on where you live, and could be as high as €140 per month. [1]
