New Zealand too. The state of broadband was abysmal, since Telecom had a monopoly on the lines, so you'd pay a small fortune, and get a tiny (like 5 GB, small even for 2007) data cap. After the unbundling, we had a bunch of competition pop up and drive the prices down, and data caps up (these days, data caps are very uncommon, the opposite direction the USA is going).
These days, we've gone one step further, and the majority of lines are owned by wholesalers, who don't deal directly with the consumer.
