Broadband in Saudi Arabia

How about this for a Broadband offer? My company has just negotiated a deal with a Broadband company to install a system on all our housing compounds. The cost is $75 a month! And this is reasonable for this part of the world. You guys in other parts don’t know how lucky you are. Needless to say, I won’t be taking up the offer.

In NZ, it's NZ$39.95 (around US$28) per month for the minimum one gigabyte set-up.
