Dishnet DSL (www.ddsl.net) in India - which is now borged by Tata 
Indicom (which borged VSNL when it was privatized) - 512K DSL capped at 
1 GB a month costs around $70 / mo.  Something like 8 cents per MB extra

Yes I know it sucks, as does their service (ravening backhoe took out a 
bunch of cable so service to most of southern Madras was cut off for 
almost 12 hours today - but it's pretty bad when it is up anyway).
