[...] users across the world increased in the past decade? Not surprisingly, the highest growth in internet usage between 2000 and 2009 has been across the developing world; mainly in Africa, Asia and Middle East. [...]
It’s normal, In Romania you can have 100mbps with only 30 eur per month. In this case is perfectly normal the growth in internet usage. I know because I lived there and I had that wonderful connection. The ISP name is Ilink and it is led by Sabin Piso who revolutionized the internet in Romania.
