12 New Zealand

ADSL was launched in 1999 by Telecom New Zealand under the name Jetstream. There was a progressive roll out into local exchanges.

There are a number of different ADSL service speeds offered today.

128k/128k (down/up) which is known as JetStart.
256k/128k (down/up) which is known as JetStream Surf.
2Mbits/250Kbits (down/up) which is known as Full Speed JetStream.

The services are now offered by many different service providers, though currently the service is still run by Telecom, and on-sold by the other serivce providers.

15 Poland

The most popular ADSL service for home users in Poland is Neostrada provided by TPSA.

16 Portugal

ADSL services have been available in Portugal since late 2000. However only in mid 2002 with increased competition did the service start being popular.

The most common product offering is a 512/128 and the cost is €35/month.

With the unbundling of the local loop some operators have started offering products which combine voice services with ADSL. This are only available in areas where these operators have laid their own fibber and are able to provide their own service. However for about €35-40 you get 1Mb/256 ADSL plus voice and you are exempt of line rental fees.

Most ISP’s impose traffic limits or rather charge extra if you go over your allocated quota.

Telepac – 2 brands as well:

17 South Korea

South Korea leads the number of DSL connections per head world-wide. ADSL is standard, but VDSL has started growing quickly. ADSL commonly offers speeds of 2Mbit to 8Mbit, with VDSL accordingly faster. The large proportion of South Korea's population living in apartment blocks helps the spread of DSL, as does a high penetration of consumer electronics in general. The Internet has a more higher status for many Koreans than it does in the West, and the government actively supports this.

18 Spain

ADSL arrived in Spain in 1999. The main ISP are:

Telefónica (former telecom monopoly)
Terra (also part of the Telefonica Group)
Ya.com (started by jazztel, later sold to T-Online).
Wanadoo (initally the internet branch of Uni2 spain, it opperates much like terra)
Tiscali (initally World Online )
Jazztel

The average speed is 512/128, costing € 39 per month, but several IS provide faster connections up to 1024/300 or even 1200/200 for the same price, but their services are not avalable in all the country.
