Statistics shows that Chinese people spend averagely 11% of their income on surfing online while westerners spend only no more than 1%.
I don't believe these numbers true as I myself spend only a little. How about you guys?

I pay £10 per month in UK for 2Mb broadband, which is less than 1% of my wages

Actually the expense on internet varies based on different cities in China. In the place where I live, the 10M internet broadband by optical fiber costs CNY40.00 (about 5 US dollars) per month. But It is my parents who pay for it cauz they use the computer to get online often, but I seldom.

Hi Melody,
CNY40 for 10 Mb? It is much much cheaper than Davec spends.

I pay $40 per month in Canada for high speed (ADSL). That's about 1-2% of the average income.

I pay CNY 80 for 1M broadband, which is actually more than I expected.

Now that I am travelling in China I spend about 120rmb a month...that's in the north where it is cheap. Cheaper than having my own pc and broadband in fact, but TERRIBLE for the health....lung cancer is a real danger :(

I believe most Chinese people spend over 5% of their income but less than 10%. But yes, it depends on the income. In China, prices of different connections /in different regions may not differ that much as income. My opinion only.
