54USD (80AUD) per month for 50/20 in Sydney, Australia. From a provider called Aussie Broadband
44USD (65AUD) per month for 25/5 in Sydney, Australia. Ditto AussieBB.
From what I hear the NBN (evil monopoly that owns infrastructure for your internet connection in Australia) wants to increase wholesale pricing so that the 25/5 tier costs as much to ISPs as the 50/x tier.
