Yes, you read that right. In Borat’s beloved homeland of Kazakhstan, the national internet service provider is charging $3,350 per month for DSL service. If you’re ever in Kazakhstan and that seems a little pricey, dial-up is availible for $111 per month. If you need more speed, you can go all out and pay $22,032 for a 6Mbps cable connection. Rest assured that Borat has the 6Mbps connection while Nursultan Tulyakbay only has the dial-up…because he’s still asshole. [Ars Technica]
