This is interesting, however they only pull 1 ISP per country. This is fine in countries like the US, where 1 company is representative of the rest (for the most part). But in countries like Lithuania, there is a massive discrepancy in prices (in a good way; there is lots of healthy competition). Also this list isn't very valuable without statistics on internet penetration.
