Ok for germany most people will have no choice
(Deutsche Telekom, state owned company):

20 € physical dsl-connection (just the posibillity of access, no Internet incl.)
30 € Flatrate by Deutsche Telekom
===
50 € per/month for 768/128 with lousy ping of 65+

other Flatrates are starting at 20€, but they are either resellers or do traffic shaping, a 5 GB/month non flatrate would still be around 10 €

extras possible :
fast path (ping of 15-20) = 25 € setup + 2 € per month (rip off ain't it)
1,5 mbit down stream = 25 € setup + ~10€ per month
hardware = 25 € setup + ~4 € per moth (they don't include any hadware apart a splitter)

ah and you need a phone line from Deutsche Telekom too, starting at ~20€ analog (one line) or 24 € for ISDN (2 lines, <=10 numbers).

If you life in a bigger city you have city-carriers, they all have prices like this for dsl wires :
1mbit flat + isdn telephone + all hardware = 45 €
2mbit flat + isdn telephone + all hardware = 60 €

or for cable tv wires:
2mbit flat + isdn telephone + digital tv + all hardware = 50 €


so not cheap, not much choice but good coverage of the country side (i hear cow's in the morning).

im interesset on other countries now :-)
