No (unfortunately (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) ).

This is the average broadband here in São Paulo (it's pretty common around here). (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Here there are plans from 10 Mbps to 500 Mbps. From what I researched, the values vary approximately between 14 and 77 euros.

But it is true that most of the country has a bad internet (or does not, as in smaller cities that are very far from large centers; in these places only via satellite). That is why the test considers me faster than 99% of the country. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

I pay $74 for 24/1 mbit DSL.

God Bless the rural USA. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I could double/triple the speed by getting cable internet, but the price would be about the same & the cable company in my area is a shithouse.

I could also get fixed wireless or satellite internet, but those are absolute last resort crap options.

My parents are still paying 36€/month for 3.6Mbps/0.4Mbps.
Yeah, bits per second, not bytes.

One of the few benefits of living in Ukraine is internet cost usually 100 Mbit/s $6, 1 Gbit/s $10, some small cities even twice cheaper and it's quite stable (couple of hours of downtime after 0200 for the last 5 years) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Static ranges have a strong effect on your hath rate, yeah, although so does hit rate (which is why Asian clients with similar caches get way higher hath rate than me).

Thanks for the answer, I thought 50GB was enough. Guess my 4TB HDD now has something to do.

It's cheap in dollars. But is it in гривна ?

I heard there has been a terrible inflation after the start of conflicts.

No (unfortunately (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) ).

So i guess that means no cocain covered redhead hookers for uncle from his rich brazilian druglord nephew? *sigh* I was promised those, why do i still dont get them? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

Wait, their currency is called griwna/grivna? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Yep, 150/250 гривень, in гривня and inflation since than is x3 so 100 Mbit/s used to be $18, but a bit earlier it was $12.

Hryvnia? But shouldnt that be Хривня? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I mean г as H do i just know for foreign words or names, you know like Ганновер or Гамбург.

Iirc, when I was in Kyiv the year before the FIFA international soccer championship was held there, 5 гривень where 1 euro (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

The metro was around 2 гривень on average, and you could get a refreshing glass of Kvas from street-side tanker trucks for half гривня, iirc.

I feel nostalgic and a bit sad (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

Uncle, he gave the Standard Russian and Standard Ukrain forms; they are almost but not exactly the same.
Also transliteration from cyrillic is not always consistent. And these are not foreign names, besides.

Disambiguation : by "these", I mean those he used, not your examples !

And because i dont know anything about that i used both possible versions with v and w. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

And these are not foreign names, besides.

For russians they are. Which is the reason why they are written and afaik spoken with a G instead of an H. Well okay ch aka Х. They dont really have an H. I mean they have н but it is actually an N.

But yeah, sure, please keep explaining the cyrillic alphabet to me because i dont know anything about it. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

ch = Ч, not Х, chain = ЧЕИН
Х = h like in Hello, and btw nobody spoken Gello

ch = Ч, not Х, chain = ЧЕИН

A fuck, i mixed them up again? Can we not tell mundo about this? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Х = h like in Hello, and btw nobody spoken Gello

Hm? I thought you write it without h. I mean i know Алло, even when i never used it so far, is there also a ХАлло? My russian is worse as a thought. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif)

Алло is for answering a phone call, mean 'yes, i'm listening'
there is no ХАлло, hello pronounce as ХЭЛОУ, hi as ХАЙ, and etc
G = Г, h often pronounced as Г in proper names, like Harry = Гарри

Алло is for answering a phone call, mean 'yes, i'm listening'

I know, that is the reason why i never used it.

there is no ХАлло,

Well at least something.

G = Г, h often pronounced as Г in proper names, like Harry = Гарри

Yeah, and it used mostly by not russian words/names. Like Ганновер, Гамбург or галстук. Btw, now that i think about it, wouldnt that make Harry and Garry literally the same in russian? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

yes, but its relevant for oldfags in both ways
e.g. Harry Harrison known as Гарри Гаррисон, but Lewis Hamilton not Гамилтон, its Хэмилтон
same shit with W / В / У
Dr Watson is Др Ватсон, Will Smith is Уилл Смит

Уилл

Uill? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

2011? You're confusing something, it was 8 гривня per USD since global financial crisis 2008

Uncle, he gave the Standard Russian and Standard Ukrain forms; they are almost but not exactly the same.

It's "proper" Ukrainian form + how it should be pronounced in Ukrainian, I barely use Russian nowadays.

Exactly, it's quite stupid. To distinguish between Г and Ґ we use H and G, but first is actually very close to G and second is very hard to transliterate, but still close to G.

And when you think about it's really atrocious, that's why Харків is Kharkiv, were K serves no purpose other than destroying larynx of foreigner.

For russians

Yes, our systems are different, like Will is still Вілл.
