Well, friends here is the reply from Ask.com website to a question on average monthly cost of broadband internet in USA.
"As of 2014, the average cost for DSL Internet access is between $20 and $45 a month and the average cost for cable or fiber-optic broadband Internet access ranges from $25 all the way up to a high of $145 a month. Speeds of fiber-optic Internet access can be even faster than cable Internet access and is offered by companies such as Verizon."
When I gave my version on average monthly cost in US, I had home segment in my mind and people pay cable internet companies like AT&T, Verizon, and so on.
It depends on where you live, your selected plan, limited or unlimited plan, your usage and so on. If it starts at $25 per month for fiber optic, you can imagine the rates of broadband internet in US.
One of my friends told me that she'd not spend more than $15 on cable internet and there are so many alternatives available. So, there you go mates. You are paying way too much in UK and I doubt the veracity of BBC report.
